But please note the guidelines to not just copy material from other websites (WP:COPYVIO), and that Wikipedia is not a directory to other webpages (WP:NOTDIRECTORY). Your edits on Council of Canadian Academies have been reverted for that reason. -- SchreyP (talk) 11:51, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Council of Canadian Academies
Hi, Sorry if I was a bit bold previously. Your edits on Council of Canadian Academies are better now. You are new to Wikipedia, so it is normal that some bumps happen at the start. We know there are also a lot of guidelines. We don't expect that you have read everything from the start, but try to investigate a little. It will help to make this smooth. Underneath some remarks on new edits, with the hope this helps you to understand better: SchreyP (talk) 09:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
 * RSC: The Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences of Canada is just a redirect to Royal Society of Canada, either links are ok. "Royal Society of Canada" is the official name, "RSC: The Academies of Arts, Humanities and Sciences of Canada" is the more descriptive name (kind of trading name) that is allowed to use, as described in their By Laws. I have kept your revert.
 * Creating just links to the reports is not ok. As indicated before Wikipedia is not a directory to other web links (WP:NOTDIRECTORY). If other sources describe the importance of this individual reports too, you can add some short description (in your own words), and than use an inline reference to this report and the other sources. I have again removed the external references for now, and replaced it with one inline reference to all assessment publications of the council.

Possible conflict of interest
Looking at your login name I presume a close affiliation with the Council of Canadian Academies. Please have a close look at Conflict of interest to avoid problems in the future. One thing that will help is explaining on your user page who you are and why you have interest in being on Wikipedia. -- SchreyP (talk) 09:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
