Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, DJMarcelin! I am Abce2 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed your expansion of the Employment discrimination article. Thanks for adding so much information.
Just FYI, on Wikipedia we sign (~~~~) things on talk pages, but we don't sign articles or parts of articles. For more info, see WP:SIGN.
You might also be interested in the Employment discrimination law in the United States article, which is about U.S. law specifically.
Proposed deletion of Workforce Diversity in organization
edit
The article Workforce Diversity in organization has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- A good-faith college essay (see author's edit history) full of corporate newspeak. The topic has been properly researched in academics (strongly biased to either US or "international" environments), but it will take far more effort to bring the article to basic quality standard.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
P.S. I might be biased: I still hate those bullshit corporate dancing exams (and it was in the eighties, when life was far simpler and reaganomics still ruled). Good luck with improving the article, but chances are that you are alone at it. NVO (talk) 10:01, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
advice
edita good deal more improvement is needed. There is a difference between an essay and a Wikipedia article. An essay is a place for opinion, supported by references. An encyclopedia article is a place for facts, supported by sources, , and avoids generalities and platitudes. If you give opinion, it has to be sourced specifically to the author--and if you quote it, add quotation marks. As for those sources, you need to give the title and publication data for the actual magazine article in the references, adding the web source as a convenience link. I suggest appropriate parts of the free online version of How Wikipedia Works by Phoebe Ayers, Charles Matthews, and Ben Yates (also available in print) as the best guide for writing Wikipedia articles.
