Little request

Hello! Could you do me a favor and editprotect my bot-page? I retired the bot. User:HiW-Bot and User talk:HiW-Bot. Thanks for your time! --Hedwig in Washington ^(TALK) 17:03, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Sure, not that I truly think that it is that necessary.  Done — billinghurst sDrewth 01:36, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Requested to post link for the Thai recipes in the "External Links" Sections

What to do if the "External links" section is none existing on that page?

I don't mean to be rude posting in the wrong place but if there is no section to post to I just posted to the last section on the page which ended up being in a "Reference" section. I don't think it is that wrong. If you ever have a chance to read the article, it can be used as a reference as well since my blog is not only the "recipe only" blog but also give history and background of the certain dishes as well.

If they're not welcome, it's ok. I don't need to post it. I just did it because many of the Thai cooking guru in Thailand asked me to add the correct history and background of Thai dishes to wikipedia after they're all tried of trying to correct the facts but later on got wiped out by others and then the incorrect information keep appearing again. They were worried about the accuracy of the information and don't have energy to fight with people who keep posting wrong information same as me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MBorvornsin (talk • contribs) 23:37, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

If a links section is not there, you add it. The issue is whether a link should be added, for that see Wikipedia:External links, which will be mostly equivalent to your native language. In short, is the link that you are looking to add suitable for an encyclopaedia; remembering that this encyclopaedia, is NOT not a directory of links. — billinghurst sDrewth 01:48, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
