spamming stockrow.com
Every edit you have made, adds links to stockrow.com, a new stocklisting website.

If you continue spamming stockrow.com it will end up blacklisted.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 20:51, 6 November 2016 (UTC)


 * fwiw, i suggest you headover to WT:WikiProject Companies and see if folks there believe that stockrow will provide value to our articles about companies; this is generally best practice here when you want to introduce a new source to multiple articles. Jytdog (talk) 21:02, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * pasting message here that was left at my talk page in this dif, to keep thread together. Jytdog (talk) 21:30, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Yep looks like that. (Sry but I don't know how to reply in the talk page, don't want to mess up something here).

using talk pages
Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting - when you reply to someone, you put a colon ":" in front of your comment, and the WP software converts that into an indent; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons "::" which the WP software converts into two indents, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this in front of your comment. This also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread. I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages. That is how we know who said what. I know this is insanely archaic and unwieldy, but this is the software environment we have to work on. Jytdog (talk) 20:59, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Want to help shape the future of the Wikipedia editing experience?
Hi Matinvestor,

The Design Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation is currently seeking relatively newcomer Wikipedians for user studies about their experience with current editing tools and to test out some prototype editing tools. If you’re interested in helping to shape the future of editing on Wikipedia, we would love to have you participate! The study session will take approximately 30 minutes, maximum of 45 minutes.

The study will take place in the next couple weeks, and will require participants to have access to a webcam and microphone (or a laptop with built in cam & mic), with a quiet place to go for a research session. To participate, please email dchen[at]wikimedia.org and include the following information:
 * Username
 * Email where we can reach you
 * Your city or time zone
 * Best time to talk to you

Please let me know if you have any questions! Look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Daisy Chen
