What did you mean by existing wikiproject? Have you already written the article on another wiki? SpinningSpark 19:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sparkygirl: You requested help in posting a wiki project to Wikipedia from one of your classes at Arizona State University. To what Spinningspark has said, I thought I would add a few more specifics:

Links to external projects can be added by posting the URL inside square brackets thus: [http://www.arizona.edu/], which appears like this: [1]. The name of the link can be added by inserting a space after the URL and typing the title inside the closing bracket, thus: University of Arizona. Comments are added by typing outside the brackets. That would be the format for adding an external link, for example. However, it is important to consider whether the link meets the requirements of the policy, which, are stated as follows: "Wikipedia articles may include links to web pages outside Wikipedia. Such pages could contain further research that is accurate and on-topic." In other words, links that add useful research to the article are fine, links that are promotional in nature are not permitted. Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you need more information. Sunray (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
