Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Leadership psychology has been reverted. Your edit here to Leadership psychology was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://switchandshift.com/how-to-influence-your-manager-passive-versus-proactive-followership) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:30, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
I need to ask if you have any connection with Emerald Publishing Group. It seems that almost every source you have added is published by that company (13 edits, ≈10 Emerald Publishing Group links). If so, WP:Conflict of interest may help. 220  of  Borg 03:08, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. Many thanks for flagging the Conflict of Interest guideline. My intention was to help enrich relevant pages of Wikipedia with verified research. Apologies if you do not feel this is the case. I’ve since read that if I have an affiliation with a company then the best practice is to propose changes on the talk pages of that entry and disclose all involvement. If I’m incorrect in my assumption then please let me know. I’ll be sure to suggest rather than amend anything connected with the group in the future. This was done in ignorance rather than with malicious intent. Stonehart (talk) 15:00, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
