Your book

OK Mark - we'll let you get away with hawking your own book...but just be aware that this is usually frowned upon (and a violation of Wikipedia rules). Best, A Sniper (talk) 05:37, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RE: References

Hola,

You need to read:

Wikipedia:Citing sources

FIRST) The "name=":

For name= please use a unique qualifier for each PAGE cited, examples:

name=PriceS-p16
name=PriceS-p15-17
name=PriceS-p18

Don't use the same qualifier "Price" for multiple entries that are citing different pages.

The "name=" command is to be used to consolidate references that are for the same work or same page of a work. Titling them with the same name but referring to different pages is not the intended use.

SECOND) Multiple cities of the same work.

Instead of typing out the entire work for the second cite, just use AUTHOR's LAST NAME and PAGE NUMBER for the second and additional references, example:

Price, Sterling (1888). To Hell and Back. New York, New York: Brockman & Co. p.89. ISBN 978-123455678
Price. p.190.
Price. p.167-169

You only need the full cite once. If the author has two different works in the same article, then include TITLES or DATE/YEAR in the subsequent reference.

THIRD) {{cite book }}

Please start using the Template:Cite book for your references.

Also use {{cite news }} (Template:Cite news), {{cite web }} (Template:Cite web), etc., were appropriate.

FOURTH)

Also try to avoid:

Wikipedia:Conflict of interest

Wikipedia:Point of view

Wikipedia:Original research

etc.

Make them reliable, third-party references.

Thank you,

Sterling Price

I would like you to skip the middle man and use your sources that were used in the book as references. Instead of citing your book as a source, please provide that material that you used to come to that conclusion.

I am calling Conflict of Interest (COI), Point of View (POV), and Original Research (OR) on your additions to the Sterling Price and will be reverting your edits unless you provide your source material (s) as the reference (s).

Thank you.

As a Reader, I would concur. This issue has been mentioned previously - actually by me. Why not let other editors stumble on to your published work to quote from it instead of being so obvious? Rollback is in order. Best, A Sniper (talk) 15:09, 23 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting

To revert your edits:

1) Go the article

2) Go the "View history" tab at the top (this opens "Revision history of XXXXX")

3) Either:

A) Find the edit before the roll back using the time-date stamp, open by clicking on that time, make additional source corrections/additions, and then save.

or

B) Use the radial buttons using the "Compare selected revisions" feature button, click "Undo" and it will open the changes in edit mode, make additional source corrections/additions, and then save.

(You can also "roll-back" in one step and then make the corrections in a second step. Either way it is easy.)

IMPORTANT: If any quality edits have been made to the article since the version you want, those changes will be LOST! So, carefully look at the history of the edits to see what has been done since the version you want. If quality changes have been made it is best to open two windows (less desirable-or two tabs) and (using the ALT+TAB feature) copy+paste (CTRL+C & CTRL+V) your old edits to the most recent article in edit mode (or copy the quality edits made since, which ever if faster.)

Just like writing a book, it is best to do a little research first, please read:

PS If a lot of quality edits have been made, or just a lot of edits between the PRESENT version and the one you want, by using the back arrows ("← Previous edit") in "Compare" mode you can COPY+PASTE your edits to MSFT Notepad (*.TXT) in the green field (s). This may mean some manual edits of sentence breaks, but it works.

Conflict of interest

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Bushwacker, 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.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Bushwacker. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you.LeadSongDog come howl! 03:08, 24 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
