editHello Ukipyouth. 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 you, 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. --RJFF (talk) 17:21, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Green Party of England and Wales with this edit. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Grafen (talk) 18:47, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Green Party of England and Wales, you may be blocked from editing. noisy jinx huh? 18:52, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest
editHello user:Ukipyouth,
you might like to take the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest guideline seriously. The objective of Wikipedia is to create an online encyclopedia, based on Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Therefore, it cannot be accepted if your purpose is to use Wikipedia for promoting UKIP and bashing the Greens. If you belong to UKIP Youth (as your username implies) and you are not able to keep a neutral point towards UKIP, or its political opponents, it might be better if you avoid editing these articles. Please, think about it. Anyway, it is impossible to simply remove content with reference to reliable sources, just because you see it differently or you have a different perception. This could be seen as 'vandalism' (see messages above).
Kind regards --RJFF (talk) 17:03, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}
on your user talk page. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
- Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
