Gang, I need someone to clarify my doubts on Wikipedia. Say; if a wiki contributor writes an article on xoxo topic, he needs to mention the links for reference; right? Now, if he happens to be the owner of some website which deals with the same xoxo topic, can he mention his own website there? In other words, how does a site quality to get mentioned in wikipedia? Is there anything the site owner can do in his powers to make wikipedia link to his site for a relevant story? Coz, there are a few topics in Wikipedia which are classified as stub, so if a small website with less traffic has a good article which can help the writer expand that stub in wiki, can the site owner let wikipedia know that his article could be used there as a reference? I'd appreciate a detailed explanation. Thanks in advance for your time.
Wikipedia is a website where millions of people share their knowelegde. If that person makes an article, not a stub, but a good article and adds a link to his own website, it's nothing wrong. As long as he isn't making a spam-like article, and his website is related to the article. (a stub is not-finished article, like one with a few sentences)
As lonk as the website is relevant and useful (by useful I mean it contains information on the topic) there is nothing wrong in putting your link.
Yeah, but as for Wikipedia... I don't think that backlinks are the issue here; it's the traffic that Wikipedia can bring.
