International House of Prayer
editHello. I restored the older numbers for International House of Prayer#International House of Prayer University, since that is what was sourced. It's not acceptable to have information which doesn't match its attached source. Updating these numbers would be very helpful, but this will require a new source.
It may also be helpful to keep in mind that Wikipedia strongly favors sources which are independent of the topics they cover. It's okay to use IHOPKC's sites for routine details, but it would be better to use academic or journalistic sources. IHOPKC cannot be used for promotional or controversial content either, at least not without additional reliable outside coverage. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 20:51, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, ElizabethJohnson1949. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article International House of Prayer, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 20:19, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
Response
editHello. I have responded to your comments at User talk:Grayfell#International House of Prayer. For simplicity, we should consolidate the discussion there, or start a new discussion at the article's talk page. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 20:20, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
