Welcome / TheStreet.com
Hi Jm930, welcome to Wikipedia! This is a project to write an encyclopedia, where a sober, factual writing style is highly valued and opinionated advertising-like texts are not appropriate - see our neutral point of view policy. Are you in any way affiliated or connected with TheStreet.com? If that is the case, please note our Conflict of interest guidelines and be aware that Wikipedia is not a free advertising space, have a look at FAQ/Business (especially the section "May I advertise my organization or its campaigns, products, services or leading individuals on Wikipedia?").

Please note that conflict of interest guidelines also apply to the insertion of links as references, as you did here. --McGeddon (talk) 16:27, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Continuing to use thestreet.com as a reference, without clarifying your connection with the website, will be treated as spamming, should it continue. This may result in the website being blacklisted from Wikipedia. Please take a moment to clarify any links you may have to the site, on this talk page, before adding any further links. Thanks. --McGeddon (talk) 16:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I apologize for not responding sooner, I'm new (in contributing) to Wikipedia. I don't have any connection to thestreet.com - I simply get most of my financial news from their site. I've become increasingly interested in finance/investing, so I've been trying to get more involved in the corporate world. I tend to watch Mad Money with Jim Cramer, so thestreet.com has become a natural source of information for me. In addition, I've sought to become a contributing member to Wikipedia - I've been using the site on a regular basis since 2005. I'm learning the syntax as I go. I was under the impression that all information was acceptable as long as it is verified, neutral and truthful - which I believe mine has been. If my activity has been a problem I can glean my information from other websites - sorry for the confusion. --jm930 (talk) 11:49, 21 December 2009
