A Couple Questions To Ask Yourself Before Asking To Add Links

Example Of A Great Post
+ Show Spoiler +
While I think it's great that Edward is making these tutorial videos, on the subject of 3rax I think Trump has a much better tutorial video. Trump's video is much older (patch 1.0.3), but it is still valid as the patches since then have changed nothing affecting the 3rax build apart from Stimpack taking 30 seconds longer. Why do I find Trump's video better?
* Trump seems to have put more preparation and thought into the video. No "oops I cut SCVs for a short period of time" or "as soon as I've...oh, be sure to MULE".
* Trump points out more subtleties to beginners, such as when to send the SCV to get the building to start on time.
* Trump's execution is a lot cleaner. Edward misses some production time on the Command Center and Barracks, thereby having less units and floating resources. He says "it looks like I have about enough minerals to go for an expansion" and then goes for it, but a properly macro'ed 3rax build should leave you dead-broke on minerals.
* Trump starts Stimpack first, Concussive Shells second. This makes a lot more sense to me than the other way around, given the research time. It allows the push to commence sooner.

Please note that none of these strategies were put together by me and I do not claim that I thought up any of them. I simply wanted a place to compile a large list of strategy to help myself and other players. If your an author and would like your article taken down feel free to PM me. Remember take time to thank the individuals who have provided you with their knowledge!

Why Some Sections Don't Have Links
+ Show Spoiler +
Their are some posts below that comment on the fact that some sections do not have links. There are no links in certain sections because there are no videos/articles that are relevant to the current version of the game.
Information On Guides For The Other Races
+ Show Spoiler +
Their have been a few posts and PMs asking me if I can create threads for the other races. These threads take a lot of time and work to keep up to date. If this thread receives alot of good feedback and I feel I have enough free time to keep the other races up to date I well start threads for the other races. I do not want to have a half butt thread so unless I feel I can provide a great thread I well not do so.
Making A Website For This Guide
+ Show Spoiler +
I have gotten a lot of free time over the next few months so I am going to develope a website with forums for everything in this guide to make it more visually appealing and easier to access. I well also update the guide on this site at the same time. Their is no time line I am going to work on on the website on the side. I would like to point out my education is in a different subject so building a website is a hobby and I do not know extensive code only basics. If you would like to help me out PM me.

The point of this section is to feature Terran only streams so that other Terrans can support them. I am asking that the player streaming is a minimum of masters league. If you run the stream and would like to be added/removed/edited please PM me. The list well be alphabatized. I would also like to post normal streaming times so if it could be provided by someone I would appreciate it. Also if a player speaks a language other than english regularly on the stream let me know so I can list it next to his stream.
