Midwestone Financial Group
Hello, I'm Tiggerjay. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Midwestone Financial Group, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I understand you are attempting to contribute to this article, however your edits need to be properly sourced from verifiable source which are not directly copied, see WP:RS and WP:COPYVIO. 23:29, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Think about it this way... Is the purpose of your edits to promote the company by adding information about it's history; or is it adding valuable information for people looking for information about the company; does it discuss important, relevant, notable historical elements. Or is it just a biography of the company, of which, the details are not specifically significant? If the historical elements can reference and link to other wikipedia article, those might be worth adding. And I'm not talking about simply wikilinking things such as locations, but rather to articles such as Auction rate security or other notable financial articles; or if the individuals in your history have wikipages of their own (don't create them, just link of they already exist). While it might not be a great example, check out Walt Disney Company and see how their history is extensively linked to other articles which are relevant and unique to that company. I hope that helps! Tiggerjay (talk) 23:36, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
