Social Point
[edit]Nice job creating the Social Point article. If the facts in this article can be verified, this is clearly an important company that Wikipedia readers will want to know about. You have stated a lot of statistics in the article about the size and success of Social Point; such facts need to be cited in order to be verifiable. If you can provide the needed citations, please do so. I have marked the significant facts that I feel need to be cited within the article. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:46, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Social Point has been reverted.
Your edit here to Social Point was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2012/12/05/top-rated-social-games-of-2012/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:55, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Sources
[edit]Please refer to Help:Citing sources to learn how to create valid citations. Several of the citations you have added to Social Point are invalid and cannot be verified because you have not actually provided a URL to the web page you are referencing.

Hi Grainneaine! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Thanks Dan. Going to go through your recommendations and cite those references. Having some issues with formatting which I hope to fix today. Grainneaine (talk) 08:26, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Opting in to VisualEditor
[edit]As you may know, VisualEditor ("Edit beta") is currently available on the English Wikipedia only for registered editors who choose to enable it. Since you have made 50 or more edits with VisualEditor this year, I want to make sure that you know that you can enable VisualEditor (if you haven't already done so) by going to your preferences and choosing the item, "MediaWiki:Visualeditor-preference-enable
". This will give you the option of using VisualEditor on articles and userpages when you want to, and give you the opportunity to spot changes in the interface and suggest improvements. We value your feedback, whether positive or negative, about using VisualEditor, at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 20:27, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
