Yes, it may very well need to be disseminated, which is why I simply commented it out instead of removing it completely. I generally edit to improve the consistency and flow of an article (as I'd hope you could see from looking at any one of my contributions), something which had been broken by the insertion of the large how-to in the midst of the "Technical overview" section (see diff.). I'm sorry that my removal of your recently added section has offended you, but unfortunately instruction manuals are something which Wikipedia is not, reasons for which are outlined in that article. As also mentioned at that page, a guideline for dealing with this type of information unfortunately hasn't been established, so please feel free to share your opinion on the matter at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not. A previous but now buried discussion can be found in Archive 6 of that page. – Quoth 02:43, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Upon reading your blog I realise that this was only your second edit, I hope that you can see the reasons why it can't be included (at least in its current form) in an encyclopedia. While the information is unquestionably useful (as generally is any how-to), it is not what people expect to find in an encyclopedia, but is more the domain of wikiHow, or Wikihowto, as you found out. You could possibly also email Home of the Underdogs, and have them fix the problem completely, voiding the need for a how-to. I hope some of these suggestions are helpful, and that you won't hesitate to edit Wikipedia in the future. As above, please contact me if you have questions or are having trouble finding information about how things work at Wikipedia. – Quoth 03:08, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
