Hello - in response to your message on my talk page [1], I removed the link you added for a couple reasons. One, the links don't serve as a citation for any of the content in the article. Wikipedia is in need of more content, not more external links. Also, although it is neutral organization, the site apparently requires payment (membership) in order to view the relevant content. Links of this sort should be avoided per WP:EL (external links guidelines). As you are affiliated with the BPM-Forum, you also shouldn't add links to the site yourself, which is also covered in WP:EL.
I hope this answers your questions. Please let me know if you have any more --AbsolutDan (talk) 13:01, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
