Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Wfmh. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article World Federation for Mental Health, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jprg1966 ^(talk) 20:29, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 12:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

reply to editing issue

I received your message about WFMH staff updating the World Mental Health Day page. You are correct that we are related. I am new at this and saw that the pages for our project and organization are so out of date and needed to be updated and corrected. Obviously figuring that staff would have the correct info - I updated it. I don't understand the concept of letting strangers update the page - but if that's the rule, that's what we will go with. Sorry to see that the page will continue to be out of date, though.

It is just a safeguard to try to ensure that articles are kept as neutral as possible. As it says above, you are still very welcome to propose changes on the associated talk page, then leave others to review them and decide whether to implement them. You'll have to use a different username though, because each username should be for one person only. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 19:04, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. So, I started a new account - and I, personally, can do updates and others will approve them? I'll give it a go, thanks........ I guess I cant have all the edits I did previously? Lots of lost work there! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dmag4 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
