Lupus

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Lupus erythematosus do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. WLU (talk) 16:57, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

External links

Please do not reinsert your external link to lupus erythematosus. It is a violation of Wikipedia content guidelines (WP:EL specifically) to add links to unsuitable sites. Given that you are not making any other contributions, I will suspend your account if you persist.

While my opinion is based on Wikipedia policy rather than personal taste, I cannot resist expressing my concern over the entire content of the website. It dishes out random bits of unreferenced and oversimplified information without the slightest regard for criteria by which lupus is diagnosed. It seems to suggest that everyone with fatigue and/or a rash may have lupus and should get tested - this is unwarranted and potentially harmful. If you intend to make the site a useful resource on lupus, I would recommend doing this together with Lupus UK (www.lupusuk.org.uk) or other large representative organisations, as well as basing the information you provide on reliable research rather than personal experience or word of mouth.
