From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. A little explanation of why I deleted the link to the www.ExoCars.net forum. First of all you should probably take a look here WP:NOT#DIR at what Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia is not a directory or collection of links. Most forums do not qualify for inclusion. (See: Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided) To do so they would have to first of all have proved themselves to be an invaluable resource to help the understanding of the subject matter. The Exocars forum to date has a grand total of 61 posts in 44 threads by 17 members. It is far from an authoritative reference source on the Atom, X-Bow or any other car for that matter. Wikipedia should not be used to drum up traffic to another website and any links that do so are considered to be spam. I hope this clears up Wikipedia's policy for you and explains why I deleted the links to your forum. Dino246 (talk) 13:56, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
