Help re links

{{helpme}} - have reviewed the above, the main one which seems relevant is the section on Guideline on conflict of interest which makes sense - fairly obvious here upon review, but I was not familiar with this, not being a regular Wiki user! The main reason I added these few links / citations is that we had noticed a number of wikipedia editors had done this here or there, and in all cases it does add to a body of information about a company or product. We get press releases from most of the major businesses in the world (over 80,000 published in just over a year), so there is perhaps some way to integrate these more effectively with Wikipedia entries in any case - is there someone I could talk to about this? I noticed that there is a "whitelist" - is there any way which we could explain our site heirarchy to enable editors to quickly link up Your Story press releases )I've seen something similar with IMDB)?

We don't want to fall foul of the Wiki rules, but would like to point out the neutrality of our service, and the wealth of (freely submitted, moderated) information on stock market listed companies and large organisations that we hold.

When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~~~~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured here.

The more applicable policy, in this case, is the external linking policy. We would not normally have a link to a press-release; if you can imagine, any company could easily have hundreds of such 'external links', and we wouldn't want that.

I hope that policy will provide you with more guidance. I also suggest that you read the business FAQ.

Finally, I recommend that you sign up for a user account - there are lots of good reasons, but mostly, it is because it would make it easier to help you - by providing help on your own talk page.

For more help, you can either;

• Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
• Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
• Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello.  Chzz  ►  09:12, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
