Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Intel, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Jasper Deng (talk) 00:22, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Removal of deadlinks and redlinks
You seem to be doing a lot of this, but it is not necessarily a good thing to do. We do not remove references just because the hyperlink has gone dead. The reference remains the source of the information, whether or not it can be accessed online, and in many cases it has simply been moved to another location, or can be recovered from an archive. Future editors may need this information to find the souce. You especially should not do this for printed sources, as you did here for example. Printed material can still be found in libraries.
Redlinks should not be removed just because they are redlinks, as you did here. Redlinks should only be removed if the subject is never likely to have an article. That is, if it is non-notable. SpinningSpark 00:27, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
