Link to add?

would Web of Trust be a link to add, or would it be considered spam? I don't want to forum, but I use both it and site advisor and have found them to be helpful in steering away from potentially harmful sites. Thanks Ched Davis 23:31, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Terminology issue here: I need to go look at that link, but my first association with Web of Trust is with the Pretty Good Privacy. It's reasonable to put informative links into an External Links subpage; this gets created as a blank tab when you create the basic metadata. You can try doing that here if you feel comfortable, or I can set it up.
Links can be commercial if not advertising; some of the security vendors have very informative pages. Of course, one always has to be sure links stay active. It is a good idea to discuss, in the main article, the idea of blacklisting and whitelisting, which probably also need their own, more general articles.
We do need social engineering and some related areas that make phishing possible; indeed, see deception for a broader context on that, to which social engineering might link.Howard C. Berkowitz 23:42, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
