Adding references[edit]

Hi there. From this edit it looks like you tried to add references to the ref section, but they didn't behave as you expected. If you had placed them into the text, (anywhere above the bottom reference section), they would have fallen into numeric place in the order of references as they are counted.

Also, feel free to create your own userspace for carefree experimentation of anything you want to try before implementing into the main namespace, as easy as clicking here: User:Thackrey/Sandbox. And please don't hesitate to ask for help. MURGH ^talk 23:23, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Autobiography and conflict of interest[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Sean Thackrey, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to take part in a pilot study[edit]

I am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to a short survey. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates only 5 minutes. cooldenny (talk) 07:49, 15 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
