Press TV
editThank you for your message re Press TV. From your message it would appear that you have a Conflict of Interest in editing the article, which I note that you have not done at the moment. However, if your company believes it is being libelled, then they should contact info-en-at-wikimedia.org stating what the perceived libel is. Wikipedia's policy is to delete libellous material where it is identified. Mjroots (talk) 13:04, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Editing
editI suggested the following on Talk:Press TV:
- Declare who you are representing on User:Presstvwiki (I would like you to consider to make a new account first with a neutral username, still first declare on your userpage who you represent).
- Help us, slowly and in small edits, to clean out the article (you are the specialist). No large chunks, but small steps, not a lot of edits in one day, but spread it out. Give others time to consider your edits (if there are in a row of edits things that are not-Wikipedia-like, you may see all reverted).
- If anyone (also those who push negative information that really does not belong) objects, in any form, don't revert yourself, but take it to the talkpage. There are now some other editors (and admins) looking, I am sure one of them will take it from there.
- If you are unsure, post on Talk:Press TV or here.
- I am sure you understand that we are not here to promote PressTV, but we are also not here to be unneeded negative (some negative information sometimes just belongs in an article, it is sometimes part of a history of a company). Please help us to keep the page neutral, factual, and to the point.
I am putting here three 'official' 'warnings', I only put them here because they link nicely to policies and guidelines, please ignore parts that discusses "your edits" (as you obviously did not edit yet):
If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- 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.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
Note that this does not forbid you to edit, nor do the cited policies and guidelines. I'll keep an eye, and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask one of us. Regards, --Dirk Beetstra T C 20:06, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
