User talk:DerekPoole

Hi DerekPoole, and thank you for editing Wikipedia. I reverted your edit on Google penalty because the reference you added was to a self-published website, which generally are not considered reliable sources. This is because self-published websites do not have the same level of editorial oversight as with newspapers or books, where the author must have someone else read over their work and double-check it for errors before it is published. It may be true that some of the references on Google penalty are old or out of date, and you are welcome to help Wikipedia find better references, provided that they do follow the guidelines in Wikipedia's reliable source policy. If you have any questions, you can ask me on my talk page. Altamel (talk) 17:13, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Altamel Altamel I respect your decision that i should not post articles to website as it is directly a spam ,i too think that. I do not edit or see articles on wiki until it is urgent. My site thehackedplanet has been badly effected by Google Penalties. I searched wiki but found none which could help me on this topic. and what i found, you know them. I tried to add an article and i have many other also. But wiki does not allow article links submission. Also, in the Topic of Google Penalties, there is none about in Books or newspaper, only in articles. Is there any way, i could add any reference ot something else is required. I have read all guidelines.
 * Wikipedia does allow adding links under certain guidelines. I understand that the guidelines can sometimes be confusing, but the basic gist of them breaks down to this:
 * If you are adding a reference (they look like this and are added as in-line citations after a sentence) and are used to support a claim made in the article, the reference must be reliable. That means the reference has to be trustworthy enough, so no self-published websites, no blogs, news articles and books are best.
 * If you are adding an external link (they look like this Wikipedia, and go in the External Links section), the guidelines are little bit different. Basically, you can't add spam links or links to websites that exist only to sell something (WP:ELNO).
 * Just try looking a little longer. You could also try searching specific web related magazines like Ars Technica, CNET, Tech Crunch, and so on. It can be difficult hunting for good sources, but that is part of the effort needed to build an encyclopedia. Altamel (talk) 17:35, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello Altamel, thanks for confirmation. I have sources for some books that can go in as references. But how can i add links to hardbooks. I can only add links to ebooks present on various publishing platform. Can i add eBook from there?
 * Yes, you can add references to hardbooks or eBooks. Use this citation template: and fill in the applicable fields. "last" is the last name of the author, "first" is first name, and so on. Altamel (talk) 17:53, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, and you do not need to provide a URL for hardbooks. It is not required that every citation on Wikipedia be accessible on the web. People can go to the library and borrow the book if they need to check the citation. Altamel (talk) 17:54, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
