Revision as of 18:18, 4 October 2010

This is the Globalisation portal for all pages linked to Globalisation and Anti-Globalisation research reports. For resources to help you investigate see Investigative Research.

Referencing -- please read this first

I know referencing in Powerbase is difficult for newbies until they get the hang of it and we are trying to make it simpler. So here's a very simplified guide. All new contributorss should read this before starting--it'll save a lot of grief later. http://www.powerbase.info/index.php?title=Powerbase:A_Guide_to_Referencing#The_super-quick_guide_to_referencing


Sentences

Please also use complete sentences when writing/starting an article for Spin, eg John Smith is the Conservative candidate for Biggleworth East...

Not just a page title and then a fragment like 'Conservative candidate for Bigglesworth East'

Page Titles

All pages in this database which are part of the globalisation project should have titles beginning : Globalisation:

Make sure you add the colon ':' immediately after the word 'Globalisation'

Then a space and add the name 0f the person or organisations you are adding.
