Expanding the World Learning stub

[edit]

Hi all. Full disclosure, I work for World Learning and would like to expand this stub into a full article to provide more comprehensive information about the organization for the Wikipedia community, to prevent the stub from being deleted and, of course, to bring it up to standards that meet the notability guidelines. To avoid any COI and maintain neutrality I am hoping another Wikipedia editor would be interested in adding more information. I have been reading up on Wikipedia's policies and will abide by them. I plan to keep any edits to the talk page to volunteer information that others can use to update the page. If no one else in the community is willing or able to update this information, I would be willing to do so myself, however, I of course want to remain within the Wikipedia guidelines and maintain neutrality and notability for this stub/article. I would appreciate any advice the community could provide on this. If you would like to contact me please either respond to this message or leave a message on my talk page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Aurora32) Thanks!

Related discussion at Talk:School for International Training. Make sense to move some material from that page to this one? DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 21:41, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Material moved... Still much room for development here. Among other things, there is no clear sense of where the World Learning organization as it is today came from. DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 09:20, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on World Learning. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

[edit]
The "External links" section is an optional appendix. Consensus needs to determine inclusion or exclusion when contested.
  • A tag indicates concerns about links. However, none is needed for article promotion.
Some links may be included in WP:ELNO, or What Wikipedia is not (policy) such as WP:NOTREPOSITORY or Others, listed below:
  • ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
  • LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
  • ELMIN: Minimize the number of links.
The External links guideline This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.
Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.
  • WP:NOTGUIDE or WP:ELDEAD may apply as well as WP:ELOFFICIAL.
  • In some cases ELCITE applies: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
    • Please also note:
  • WP:ELBURDEN: Disputed links should be excluded by default unless and until there is a consensus to include them. Please do not add back more links without consensus. Simple solution to facilitate career maintenance tag. Move links here for discussion.
