User talk:68.223.56.104

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 68.223.56.104). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. John Vandenberg 14:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.


Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then 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 to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --AbsolutDan (talk) 15:06, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: spam

I understand that the links were to academic papers. However, spam can take many forms; it appeared to me that what was being added was links to papers authored by the same person, in a possible conflict of interest. Furthermore, in a couple of cases the links were added to the "references" section. That section should be used only for references that can serve as citations for content that is already in the article (or content that is added along with the reference), not for sources that simply contain information on the topic. If the articles can in fact be used as sources for an article's content, they should be added as proper citations so that readers can clearly see to which portion of the article the reference is relevant.

I hope this clears things up. --AbsolutDan (talk) 04:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your post to my talk page

Hi. Thanks for your message on my talk page - I only speak as I find, so please always take my ramblings as well-meant advice - I believe Bellagio does.

It occurs to me that you may have a lot to offer Wikipedia - we always keep an eye out for potential worthy editors. To this end, would you consider creating an account, with your own username? This would give you the same sense of identity as the rest of us here, from your perspective and also from ours.

Thanks once again, and I hope to run across you again at some point. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 15:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear 65... I'm not sure if you think that all papers that win best papers awards at CASOS should be listed. I had only seen a few classics there. But if you want to start a classics list, that would be a good thing. But I'd suggest you include heavily cited articles from the journal _Social Networks_. Another good thing would be to list keynoters at the Sunbelt conferences held since 1976. And CASOS, as you think it is equivalent. Bellagio99 16:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
