Conflict of interest?

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 14:57, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

If all you are going to do is add tidbits about one topic, The People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne, we are going to assume you are pushing this subject. This is an agenda and a COI.

Make your references reliable, third-party references.

Thank you,

Hi,

Please note that I am a professional published historian (that's actual books published). My additions to the People's Theatre entry are all accurate, third-party references. I wrote an authoritative history of the theatre in 1991 and I am now updating their entry in advance of the institution's forthcoming 100th anniversary. There is no "agenda" and the People's Theatre is a not-for-profit amateur organisation.

Hello, Peopleswriter. I don't know if you will look at this account again. Wikipedia is often confusing for new users, particularly those who are used to the conventions of 'real-life' credentials. The credentials might be adequate in a 'real-world' discussion, but Wikipedia requires all information to be referenced to sources. Please see the above links that my colleagues have provided.
