Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to V Australia, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mvjs (talk) 10:17, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Canaussie. You have new messages at Mvjs's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Mvjs (talk) 10:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Was just checking the accuracy of the article and am a relatively new user to wikipedia. Appreciate the heads up. How is the best way to correct the accuracy of an article in this instance? (talk)

It would be necessary to cite reliable source for any information you change or add. In the simplest form, you enclose the details of the reference inside a <ref> tag, e.g. <ref>http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2008/10/10/1223145623152.html</ref>. Hope that is of use and let me know if you need any more help. Mvjs (talk) 10:51, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
