Your username

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: name of an organization and/or business. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Wikipedia:Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Thank you. GlassCobra 11:06, 29 September 2008 (UTC) Hello GlassCobra[reply]

I was only updating the adecco-page. As you might know the entry has not been up-dated for a long time. If you want me to change my user name let me know. best j.

Conflict of interest

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Adecco, 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. Winchelsea 06:28, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citations as references

Hi, references added to articles need to be formatted correctly, the Adecco article doesn't have any verifiable citations therefore I reverted your removal of the unreferenced template, please see below for more help. Winchelsea 17:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All citation techniques require detailed full citations to be provided for each source used. Full citations must contain enough information for other editors to identify the specific published work you used. There are a number of styles used in different fields. They all include the same information but vary in punctuation and the order of the author's name, publication date, title, and page numbers. Any of these styles is acceptable on Wikipedia so long as articles are internally consistent. You should follow the style already established in an article, if it has one. Where there is disagreement, the style used by the first editor to use one should be respected. There are some specific examples of citations here.

Full citations for books typically include the following information:

the name of the author or authors
the title of the book
the date of publication, and page numbers.
The name of the publisher, city of publication, and ISBN are optional, although publisher is generally required for featured articles.

Full citations for journal articles typically include:

the name of the author or authors
year and sometimes month of publication
the title of the article
the name of the journal
volume number, issue number (if the journal uses them), and page numbers

Citations for newspaper articles typically include:

the byline (author's name),
the title of the article in quotes,
the name of the newspaper in italics,
date of publication,
page number(s),
and a comment with the date you retrieved it if it is online (invisible to the reader).

Citations for world wide web articles (for reliable sources such as the Australian War Memorial) typically include:

the name of the author or authors,
the title of the article in quotes,
the name of the website (linked to a Wikipedia article about the site if it exists, or to Website's "about page"),
date of publication,
page number(s) (if applicable),
the date you retrieved it (invisible to the reader if the article has a date of publication),
an optional short quote (used rarely, if the reference is likely to be challenged)
