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 Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Abce2 | Access  Denied  17:59, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Employment discrimination
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


The article Workforce Diversity in organization has been proposed for deletion&#32; 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  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  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
a 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.
