External links in articles

Many thanks for your work on cleanup! There are a LOT of unnecessary External links' listed in articles, aren't there? Some are strictly spam, but sometimes editors inadvertantly list online references as External links, or they think that it's useful to create a mini-Google list in the article. While you're working on removing External links, consider moving all External links to the article's talk page. A couple of truly useful External links can always be added once the article is fully referenced. Here are some wikilinks you might use to explain why you removed External links from an article:

Your username is new, but you seem familiar with Wikipedia, so your help is especially appreciated! Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam is doing all they can to keep articles clean, but they can't do it alone. Welcome! --SueHay 18:10, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Sue!Pm master 00:22, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You removed the UK Team Building Association link from the page about team building. This link had been there for more than a year and the association is a not for profit organisation. You claimed it was commercial. Please can you explain?

Hi! I'm assuming you're talking about the following: www.teambuilding. I checked this website and I agree with you, the link is not 100% commercial (though you're hinting somewhere you're gonna charge for membership beyond the first year). However, the problem is that I was not able to see this link other than just a promotion to this site. This website has virtually no content of its own... In case you're interested in adding relevant links to wikipedia, please check the WP:EL! Thanks! Pm master 02:59, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to capitalize categories, but once capitalized, the link is lost and it's not recognized by Wikipedia! How can I do it?

I am not sure what you mean, could you provide an example and put back {{helpme}} when you do so we know to check back.--Commander Keane 00:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Pm master, check WP:NAME for capitalization of article titles and capitalization within articles. Check WP:CAT for categorizations and naming conventions. I don't think you'll be able to add new categories until you have a longer user record, and capitalization in Wikipedia has rules. If you truly need a new category, drop me a message on my discussion page and I'll help if I can. --SueHay 03:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} I'm trying to add twinkle, but I'm a bit confused, where is this monobook.js file? Thanks! Pm master 00:58, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The monobook file is located here: User:Pm master/monobook.js. Miranda 01:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, you shouldn't be vandal fighting just yet, since you are new. However, you should be familiarizing yourself with Wikipedia's five pillars. Miranda 01:01, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} Miranda, thanks, I have no intention to fight wars or whatever :). But it looks like a cool tool that I can get used to. Anyway, I've added twinkle's code to the page, yet still I can't see twinkle. Am I missing something?

Clear your cache, and restart your browser. Miranda 01:18, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} Sorry again, I did everything, restarted the browser, cleared my cache. Which page should I go to to see twinkle? I'm really sorry but I'm still not able to see anything. Is there a link that should appear on my site or something?

The instructions should be shown on WP:TWINKLE on how to install the tool. Miranda 01:31, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Check out a "diff" page (see Help:Diff). For example, go here. Click "[rollback]" and see what happens; as Miranda mentioned, WP:TWINKLE should have basic instructions. Note that the script does not work in IE. Also, please read through the definition of vandalism and take a look at the warning templates (which are strongly, strongly encouraged for use.) Best of luck, GracenotesT § 01:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WOW! just wow! Thanks guys and girls! Pm master 01:38, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed an external link to this website: www.bealeader from the following article Leadership. My point was that the website had no content of its own (and it was only a one page site), someone re-added the link, saying that the "The content is the guide to the sites". I was reading WP:EL carefully and I wasn't sure what to do... Shall the link to stay or go? Thanks for your help. Pm master 22:30, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken a try at deleting it. The referenced site looks like a commercial site consisting of links to other commercial site which would be deleteable as linkspam if added individually. You were perfectly justified in deleting it in my admittedly fallible opinion. --Finngall talk 23:03, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Finngall Pm master 23:05, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the link got returned again, so I asked for another opinion from a more experienced editor (my sister, actually). She replaced the link with one from the Open Directory Project--the site itself is far less commercial and includes far more links to other leadership articles. If the original link was placed in good faith, then those who placed it should be satisfied. If not and the other link is returned, then they're obviously linkspamming and should be slapped down accordingly. Thanks again, and take care. --Finngall talk 16:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I noticed that... Hopefully that guy will get eventually tired. Thanks again! --Pm master 22:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the comments I added in the talk section of the team building article. I am annoyed by the overzealous editing of links to valuable content. --executiveoasis 01:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Nulltl Hi, it seems that the article Team building has been reduced to a stub by a user claiming that the whole thing is a spam. The article was not bad, granted it had some spam but I don't think this is enough reason to stubify it... I don't think this action is helpful to wikipedia. Help please...

Revert the article back to the edit before the edit you mentioned, to do this, just click the history tab, click the cur button on the edit before the edit you mentioned, copy all the text in yellow and the gray near yellow, click the edit tab, and paste all that text and press sumbit! Need more help? Put the help me template back on this page! - ~VNinja~ 01:52, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}}

Hi VenomousNinja, and thanks for your help, the problem is I don't want to have a conflict with the user who stubified the article. I'm trying my best to do things the right way here. What do you suggest?
Raise the problem up in the talk page of the article in order to avoid a reversion war. Miranda 04:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Hi, sorry guys/girls to disturb you about this, but since I'm relatively new about to Wikipedia, I still need help. I reverted the edits of this user Busy Stubber on an article called Earned Value Management, the problem is that he took it personally and he's accusing me of being the same person who actually was against removing the article at the first time (please see his socket puppet section below). I've seen other edits by this user and he doesn't seem to have a very good spirit when dealing with people and throwing accusations here & there. I want to report this user, but I'm not sure where this status falls, is it vandalism or something else.I appreciate your help. Thanks.

It appears that you are in the early stages of an edit war. Discuss it with Busy Stubber on the talk page, and look for his reasoning. If he assumes bad faith or is unwilling to work towards a solution, drop a note on my talk page and I'll introduce you to the various options you'll have. It might be worth discussing it with him on his talk page. Removing template.

Have a nice day,

The Rhymesmith 04:01, 20 July 2007 (UTC) 04:00, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Hi The Rhymesmith, thanks a lot for your help. I discussed the issue with him and I feel he's going to be cooperative and everything will be ok once again. Thanks a lot for your help! Pm master 04:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

reference to change on leadership article

hi pm master, the notation "Leadership Psychology" im my oppinion, the notation (which has been there since 2006) belongs in wikipedia because, that so far is the only article that addresses leadership through adjustments to environment. that is a valid process and and many large organisations subscribe to it. "self promotion", there is a quotation by me yes (is that self promotion - there are many experts quoted on wikipedia) - also, that quote has appeared on numorous blogs around the world. i would assume that means people find it useful.

if you have any suggestions on making the notation more to your liking, please let me know

Carmaz 01:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carmaz, thanks a lot for your answer. It's good that you agree with me that there's self-promotion there. The thing is, the leadership article needs a complete rewrite, it's very long with a lot of information that is really not relevant. I really suggest you take a shot at rewriting, or at least modifying the article in order to make it meet the wikipedia standards. I think your experience would be very beneficial. Since you're very famous on the subject, you don't need to self-promote yourself, other contributors will write about you and your work (I have to tell you I personally visited your website and I think you're quite experienced). One thing I haven't mentioned is that the information you added is subjective (I don't know if you agree with me on this one) and, consequently, not really encyclopedic. Thanks! Pm master 04:44, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pm master, After reviewing the policy on external links at WP:EL, I agree with some of the changes that you have made. I merely want to caution you on one point, don't marginalize spamming by applying the term were it does not apply; it is the equivalent of calling juvenile vandalism as terrorism. We’ll lose the impact to fight spamming on a large scale if we nitpick on minor problems.

Hi and thank you for contacting me! The main problem is that you were citing a small blog post as a reference. Pm master 21:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Helpme request

{{helpme}} The Leadership article is in desperate need of a Wikifairy. I'm trying to locate an active one with no luck. Could you please help me on this one? Thanks! Pm master 00:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd say it needs a rewrite more than a wikifairy. If you do want to find one, check the attached category for someone who's around. However, I'd suggest that leaving a message on the talk page for the business wikiproject might be more effective. --Sopoforic 02:12, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Risk Management

{{helpme}} I noticed that you removed links to Monte Carlo Simulation and List of Project Management Software from this article. I am unclear as to why this was done as both are relevant to risk management and should be included in the section to 'See Also'. Please let me know your thoughts on this.--Tilleyg (talk) 18:34, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You also removed a recently added section on risk equalization at market level. You seem to think that this is not risk management, presumably because it is not what most individuals or companies faces with risk do. But I would argue that at the level of society this is a risk management process because it is intended to share risks (or stricly speaking the cost burden of unevenly distributed risks) amongs all members of society by a financial re-allocation of insured risks known as risk equalization. It may not fit into the textbook defintition given above it in the text but then writer of that text did not write the definitive text on risk management for all time. If you do not think this is risk management, please tell me what you think it is and where it should be explained in WP. To me Risk Management is exactly the right context for this.--Tom (talk) 13:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tom... I answered in the talk page of the article. Pm master 21:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 02:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed, thanks fixing it. Don't know how it happened.Pm master 17:25, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Project Scheduling

I commented on your discussion on the Project Management Scheduling Page.

May want to take in Account that projects range in size from a few hundred dollars to tens of billions. Some of those require a staff of professional schedulers to manage. Project management is a skill set, not an industry.
