No no, don't worry, you haven't broken any rules at all. The reason I trimmed down the external links was in accordance with the WP:NOT guideline that says Wikipedia is not a repository for external links. In general, Wikipedia has problems with people adding links to their own private websites in an attempt to get traffic. Therefore, we try to restrict the external links to those that improve the artile itself, and that's all I was doing.
So simply put, you didn't do anything against the rules at all, but I felt that this URL was not important enough to be included in the article, so I removed it. --Ryan Delaney talk 08:32, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
