| − | Since we don't want to give link love to "bad actors" such as [[ParkedPage|parked]] and [[pac|adult]] sites, scams, etc. we decided to default to [[Wikipedia:Nofollow|NoFollow]]. But unlike many sites ([[Facebook.com|Facebook]], [[Wikipedia.com|Wikipedia]], [[Twitter.com|Twitter]]) that make '''all''' external links added by their users [[Wikipedia:NoFollow|NoFollow]], [[AboutUs.org]] is a place that will remove that NoFollow attribute and give "DoFollow" link to people (and sites) making good contributions.
