I'm not comfortable with the level of sources that are used for this article. For instance, the lead doesn't sound right, as 'personal branding' sounds like a process or activity, while the rest of the definition is mainly about the result. It's all taken from one single blog, and the content was most likely inserted by the writer of that blog. For now, however, I have not been able to find a better source, as most of the content on the web is far from neutral (written by authors who'd all be more than happy to help you create your personal brand). In the discussion about deletion of this article, someone mentioned this concept being discussed in the more traditional marketing textbooks. If anyone has those, and can contribute using those, please do! -- Joanne B 08:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
I can never get the references system to work properly -
I added: It has been noted that while previous self-help management techinques were about improvement of an individual, this concept rested with the changing the perception of existing traits and abilities.
it's from pg 3 of Daniel J. Lair, Katie Sullivan, and George Cheney (2005). "Marketization and the Recasting of the Professional Self". Management Communication Quarterly 18 (3): 307–343.
can someone add that as a source (it's already in the external links section but is now being used as a source). -- Fredrick day 19:07, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
Who are you, and why are you deleting my contributions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omegalion ( talk • contribs).
You clearly have no idea what personal branding is. The information that you are using is not only incorrect it is completely unclear. The definition I am providing is from a source that is among the leaders in the personal branding industry. You are incorrect in deleteing my material. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Omegalion ( talk • contribs).
This bit: "and it has been noted that while previous self-help management techinques were about improvement of an individual, this concept rested with the changing the perception of existing traits and abilities". should not be in italics as it is not a quote - can some remove it, I cannot actually see any problem in the wikicode but for some reasons it's appearing as italics. --

I've added a paragraph in the article I don't know how the reference system works but the source is: http://www.slideshare.net/thinktank1987/personal-branding-10606521 It's my presentation about personal branding and is based upon my experiences about personal branding as an employee and as a trainer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thinktank1987 ( talk • contribs) 19:28, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
unless someone can suggest to me eitherwise, I will seek to have brandicapped.com added to the spam blacklist - we have an editor who does not seem to grasp that (self?) promotion is not the purpose of wikipedia - adding this site to the blacklist might help him grasp this. -- Fredrick day 14:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
I am glad that everyone is happy. What I have learned through my Wikipedia experience is that Wikipedia is a very poor source for people to get information that is based on experienced sources. The editors have made a mockery of the definition of Personal Branding. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.106.114.18 ( talk • contribs).
