Interac (Japan)[edit]

Please read the Talk page on Interac (Japan) and write something that helps to make the revert/changes you made understandable. I encourage you to use good WP:EQ and work towards WP:NPOV. As is, I believe that what you have done does not help this.Taurus669 (talk) 02:14, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]


The material you have restored to Interac (Japan) needs attention. It deals with a minor union dispute, which may be better dealt with on the union article page (where readers would be looking for such information) rather than the employer's article page (where readers would be looking for information regarding the Interac organisation. The amount of material in proportion to the rest of the article is too much, and gives too much weight to what appears to be a minor dispute. This is against our guideline at WP:Undue. Additionally, the material needs sourcing. Currently it is cited to a single source - the union's own website, and the links are dead, so the source cannot be read. If the dispute was notable enough for inclusion in that article, then there needs to be independent and reliable sources. As the material you have added is dubious, and appears to be outside of Wikipedia's remit, I will remove it from the article. Please discuss on the article talkpage if you feel the material should be replaced. I will watch the article, and give assistance to you if you need it, as regards meeting Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines and policies. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions[edit]

On reviewing your contributions I notice that you have an interest in and some knowledge of union activity in educational establishments in Japan. I think that your knowledge and interest will be an asset to the encyclopedia, and I wish to encourage you to continue to participate. However, there is for most people a period of getting to know what it is that is appropriate for Wikipedia and what is not. I noticed that you have added details to some articles regarding the staff membership of the National Union of General Workers. We don't include such information as a matter of course. Some staff would be members of other unions, and some may have no interest in supporting a union. Detailing that "some staff" are members of a particular union is not appropriate as it has nothing to do with the article, unless there were some form of notable union dispute. It would be similar to reporting that some staff use certain facilities (such as the canteen) while others don't: it is taken for granted that some people will drive into work, while others will walk or catch public transport. Such information (trade union membership, eating habits, etc) is not important in the employer article, though may be in a general article on trade unions or public transport in the local area. Unless there is a notable reason for including such peripheral detail, we don't. If you are unsure what information you may or may not add to an article you may ask me on my talkpage, or you can ask at the WP:Help desk. SilkTork ✔Tea time 15:21, 4 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
