[edit] Recent edit to Flexi Time Sheet‎

That was a very poor edit summary on my part; I had changed the formatting of the section and then went back and removed the link after typing in the summary. I should have left a pointer to the appropriate section of our external link guidelines; specifically, we avoid linking to a simple search results page. The surrounding text prompting people to do the search on their own felt a little too "how to guide" and less encyclopedic than is expected. Thank you for your patience; and I apologize for the poor form. If you need a better explanation; please let me know. Kuru ^talk 00:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
