I have seen my two additions to to the links erased. if this is because I did not follow the protocol, such as adding them to the references, then please tell me or show me how to add them properly. the article said the company has been criticized in the past and that the company claims all human rights issues are past, but these examples of the criticism stll seem relevant. also notworthy is that parent company adidas also continues to get similar criticism. is this not a reason to include links that at least explain what the criticism is? I will try to undo the edit and if someone disagrees on a technical basis, pleSe explain why or show how to put the links where they belong. if on a political basis, I would be interested to hear why the article needs to be sanitized of any info not positive to the company.

Adding information

 * It needs to be relevant to the article as it stands. If there is information that you think belongs in the article, you should write briefly about the topic in the article, then add the link as a reference.  The information in the Welcome (above) should show you how to do this. External links that do not have accompanying article text should be kept to a minimum (generally only reserved for information directly related to the topic).

 * I have inserted your info into the Reebok article as an example. Cheers, Clovis Sangrail (talk) 23:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

oops I responded but the response does not show. it seems we were writing at the same time. iasked if I should have added something to the article which explained my link or if I should have instead made the link into a reference which directly connects to the text. it seems you may have added my info. still interested to know if my adding a reference would not have been better since there already was related text. have to go learn how to add a numbered reference. also of to work, so will check back later. thanks again.

 * One easy way to add numbered references is to add them using 'ref' codes (see below). The numbering will be done automatically and the reference will be put at the base of the page.


 * When there is a particular statement in the text which is not supported, it is good to add a reference that clearly explains the point. The particular reference you added wasn't specifically about Reebok alone, so I believe it was worth adding a sentence to make it clear what was being referred to.
