== Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion ==

Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Please make sure that the subject is worthy of a Wikipedia article. It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other, including the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

All information about companies and products are written in an objective and unbiased style. Article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations which are the topic of the article. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so.

All articles must be about subjects that are considered [[WP:Notablity|notable]] according to Wikipedia's standard of inclusion. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it. "Notable" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance," and even organizations that editors personally believe are "important" are only accepted as notable if they can be shown to have attracted notice. An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it.

Acceptable sources under this criterion include all types of reliable sources except works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as:

* sources that simply report meeting times, shopping hours or event schedules,
* the publications of telephone numbers, addresses, and directions in business directories,
* the season schedule or final score from sporting events,
* routine communiqués announcing such matters as the hiring or departure of personnel,
* brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business,
* simple statements that a product line is being changed,
* routine notices of facility openings or closings (e.g., closure for a holiday or the end of the regular season),
* quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, or
* passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization.


Lastly, all claims of notability must be sourced. Use neutral, reliable, third-party sources to establish the importance of the subject, <big>except the following</big>:
except for the following:

* press releases, press kits, or similar works;
* self-published materials;
* any material written by the organization, its members, or sources closely associated with it;
* advertising and marketing materials by, about, or on behalf of the organization;
* corporate websites or other websites written, published, or controlled by the organization;
* any material written or published by the organization, directly or indirectly;
* other works in which the company, corporation, organization, or group talks about itself—whether published by the company, corporation, organization, or group itself, or re-printed by other people.

Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion

Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Please make sure that the subject is worthy of a Wikipedia article. It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other, including the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

All information about companies and products are written in an objective and unbiased style. Article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations which are the topic of the article. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so.

All articles must be about subjects that are considered notable according to Wikipedia's standard of inclusion. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it. "Notable" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance," and even organizations that editors personally believe are "important" are only accepted as notable if they can be shown to have attracted notice. An organization is not notable merely because a notable person or event was associated with it.

Acceptable sources under this criterion include all types of reliable sources except works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as: 

   * sources that simply report meeting times, shopping hours or event schedules,
   * the publications of telephone numbers, addresses, and directions in business directories,
   * the season schedule or final score from sporting events,
   * routine communiqués announcing such matters as the hiring or departure of personnel,
   * brief announcements of mergers or sales of part of the business,
   * simple statements that a product line is being changed,
   * routine notices of facility openings or closings (e.g., closure for a holiday or the end of the regular season),
   * quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, or
   * passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization.


Lastly, all claims of notability must be sourced. Use neutral, reliable, third-party sources to establish the importance of the subject, except the following: except for the following: 

   * press releases, press kits, or similar works;
   * self-published materials;
   * any material written by the organization, its members, or sources closely associated with it;
   * advertising and marketing materials by, about, or on behalf of the organization;
   * corporate websites or other websites written, published, or controlled by the organization;
   * any material written or published by the organization, directly or indirectly;
   * other works in which the company, corporation, organization, or group talks about itself—whether published by the company, corporation, organization, or group itself, or re-printed by other people.

Here is how to use in-text citations:

How references work

Simple references

These require two parts;

a)
Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea. <ref> [http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com Tea website] </ref>
b) A section called "References" with the special code "{{reflist}}";
== References ==
{{reflist}}

(an existing article is likely to already have one of these sections)

To see the result of that, please look at user:chzz/demo/simpleref. Edit it, and check the code; perhaps make a test page of your own, such as user:Junjoon/reftest and try it out.

Named references

Chzz was born in 1837, <ref name="MyBook">
"The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. 
</ref> in Footown.<ref name="MyBook"/>

Note that the second usage has a / (and no closing ref tag). This needs a reference section as above; please see user:chzz/demo/namedref to see the result.

Citation templates

You can put anything you like between <ref> and </ref>, but using citation templates makes for a neat, consistent look; 

Chzz has 37 Olympic medals. <ref> {{Citation
 | last = Smith
 | first = John
 | title = Olympic medal winners of the 20th century
 | publication-date = 2001
 | publisher = [[Cambridge University Press]]
 | page = 125
 | isbn = 0-521-37169-4
}}
</ref>

Please see user:chzz/demo/citeref to see the result.

For more help and tips on that subject, see user:chzz/help/refs.--Forty twothe answer? 18:42, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
