From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Malaysians in South Korea 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 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, 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. Encyclopedia content should be based on scholarly journals, articles in reliable newspapers, government statistics, etc.; I moved the link for your organisation to the "External links" section and removed your text which was intended to promote it. cab (talk) 05:36, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Malaysians in South Korea. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add your original reference to the article. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. Please do not replace sourced article content with unsourced text. cab (talk) 05:46, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Creating an article

Hey, welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your reply. To create an article on Wikipedia about your organisation, you should make sure of some basic policies:

  • Wikipedia:Reliable sources --- the information in the article should have been mentioned in newspapers, scholarly journals, etc. It shouldn't just be based on what the organisation says about itself on its own website.
  • Wikipedia:Neutral point of view --- this ties in with the first bullet point. What an organisation writes about itself on its own website won't be neutral; obviously they have a bias in favour of themselves. That's why we ask that it have been written about in newspapers or somewhere else, so that we can be sure we're getting information which has been independently confirmed.

Please ask if you have any further questions. cab (talk) 06:11, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
