In response to your feedback[edit]

Thank you for your feedback. Here on Wikipedia we try to make sure that the information that we publish is reliable. Our way of doing this is to ask our editors to say where the information that they are adding came from. After adding a fact editors have to add a reference so that others can check that it is real. To be accepted it must be from a reliable source such as a book, a journal, a newspaper or a trusted website.

  • To add references you must first have a special section for them at the bottom of the page by typing this: ==References== then adding <references/> directly underneath. (This makes the references that you put into the text appear in the correct place under the heading.)

You should end up with this:

References[edit]


  • You can start adding new text to the article and every time you add or change a fact you put a reference at the end of the sentence.
  • You can use your Wikipedia toolbar at the top of the editing screen to make things easier for you.

There is a "Cite" toolbar at the top of the edit window which allows you to automatically generate the required wiki code.

You click one of the templates, e.g. "book", and fill in the details.

More information can be found in Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or the citations tutorial (the below video will play best in Firefox or Chrome):

Hope this helps,

July 2012[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Socially responsible investing do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. SummerPhD (talk) 01:25, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Amurphy100. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. - SummerPhD (talk) 01:26, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
