June 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Raben Group has been reverted.
Your edit here to The Raben Group was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://twitter.com/#!/TheRabenGroup) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:38, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Unverified facts

No matter how many times you try to add the fact, there is no verification that The Raben Group has over 35 employees. The OpenSecrets site doesn't say it. A Youtube video is not a valid reference. The Raben Group's own web page doesn't say it. Stop trying to add this fact until you can find a reference that actually verifies it. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:49, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

count the employees under "people." There are over 35.

External links

Per Wikipedia's external links policy, links to Youtube and Twitter are generally discouraged as they do not provide further reliable information, but generally only serve to promote the subject. In general, your editing of this article appears to constitute an effort to promote the group, which is highly discouraged. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:18, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
