Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! -- Siobhan Hansa 14:19, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Information.png|25px]] Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. Since Wikipedia uses Nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.  -- Siobhan Hansa 11:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Siobhan for your advice. I am trying to find a way to make useful contributions to human knowledge. I have read various notes and instructions concerning the Wikipedia philisophy and make the following "pleas" in relation to the links so far contributed and would appreciate your comments and help on improving them, if judged appropriate. There are in theory links in many other sectors to be made, as the Model relates to economics, and to integrated social, financial, productive and service structures in developing countries.

Objection concerning personal websites : the source to which reference is made is that of an independent non-governmental non-profit making organisation (Stichting Bakens Verzet). The material is in the public domain.

Need for prior publication : material for the Model (this IS the website)has been presented at international meetings and published in their proceedings. References to these are accessible through the website homepage.

Collection and organisation of information from existing sources are said to be encouraged by the Wikipedia concepts. The Model is a sort of assembled jigsaw puzzle. It pieces together generally recognsed problems (e.g. those the subject of the Millennium Development Goals) and known technical instruments (e.g. micro-credit finance, local money systems, eco-sanitation techniques) to form possible solutions to development issues.

Google searches. The bona-fide website (Model)is ranked by Google (and other search engines and meta-searches, excluding Yahoo) as one of the world's leading resources, if not the leading resource, for integrated development for the world's poor. Search keys yeilding this ranking are many, generalised, and wide-ranging and include topics such as "Local money systems for development", "integrated development structures", "model for sustainable integrated development", to sanitation, waste recycling and water supply issues.

Thanks

Terry Manning
 * It looks like, with your helpme, that you're trying to contact SiobhanHansa. You can contact this user by editing this page: User talk:SiobhanHansa. If that isn't what you were trying to ask about, put helpme back up with an explanation of your problem. --ais523 12:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Terry,


 * No need to go to my talk page. I've just spotted your message.


 * We're trying to build an encyclopedia rather than a portal, so I would suggest you add content to appropriate articles. Your expertise in these areas could be a great help to the encyclopedia and the information is likely to reach a much wider audience if it's in the articles rather than external links.  If information you'd like to include has been presented at conferences you can use the conference proceedings as references.


 * Not all published information is appropriate - as our guidelines and policies state, we represent significant points of view of experts in the subject. So points of view that haven't reached the main stream yet may not be appropriate to include in an encyclopedia.   Also, if you want to reference something actually published by (or otherwise connected to) you or your organization you should get agreement from editors on the talk page of the article before adding it.  (I don't know if these apply to what you want to include, I'm just pointing to a couple of things that come up from time to time when people who are very involved with an issue edit articles on that issue).


 * Please feel free to re-add it, or drop me line on my User Talk:SiobhanHansa talk page. Happy editing! -- Siobhan Hansa 13:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
