I have no objection to the substance of the article, but perhaps explain why Sequence Forensic Accounting - out of the thousands of private sector firms doing this work - should be chosen here as a reference? --BramleyBarn 21:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I added the link back because in my research, I found that it had many, many helpful articles. I did not know that sites with valuable resources were prohibited from being a part of the links? Indiaforensic is also a private sector firm but the link remains.

I think we need to work to find the best links for this article. There are guidelines at wikipedia:spam.

Contribute cited text, not bare links. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a link farm. If you have a source to contribute, first contribute some facts that you learned from that source, then cite the source. Don't simply direct readers to another site for the useful facts; add useful facts to the article, then cite the site where you found them. You're here to improve Wikipedia -- not just to funnel readers off Wikipedia and onto some other site, right? (If not, see #1 above.)

The References section is for references. A reference directs the reader to a work that the writer(s) referred to while writing the article. The References section of a Wikipedia article isn't just a list of related works; it is specifically the list of works used as sources. Therefore, it can never be correct to add a link or reference to References sections if nobody editing the text of the article has actually referred to it."

Do you have any links with Sequence? The article is about CFEs, not fraud.

Indiaforensic is not a great link, but on first look appears to be a not-for-profit organisation so didn't want to take it down immediately. --BramleyBarn 07:48, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
