Template:LinkedIn URL
[{{{url}}} {{{name}}}] on LinkedIn
| Error creating thumbnail: File missing | The external links guideline recommends avoiding links to social networks. Only include links to social media if it is not easily linked from another link included in the article (i.e. if the individual's homepage is linked and that has a prominent link to social media links, delete them from here) and when the social network provider provides the reader with significant unique content. Wikipedia is not a comprehensive directory of a subject's web presence. Only link to official accounts "controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article". By way of comparison, legitimate LinkedIn accounts are usually named in reliable sources or linked by other subject-controlled sources. |
