After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works.

:Melodyafsana - you have continued editing since I left you this note, and have continued adding content about myfundnow.com. I will give you another chance to respond here, but if you keep editing as you have without replying here and working with me to manage your COI, I will seek to have you indefinitely banned from Wikipedia as a purely promotional account - you are violating the [[WP:SOAPBOX]] policy, and you appear to be violating the COI guideline and the [[WP:PAID]] policy.

March 2016
Hello, I'm Drchriswilliams. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Crowdfunding, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia
Hi Melodyafsana I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia. Based on your edits to date it is very obvious that you are affiliated with myfundnow.com. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, Melodyafsana. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
- instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.
Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose your connection with myfundnow.com? After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 01:39, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Melodyafsana - you have continued editing since I left you this note, and have continued adding content about myfundnow.com. I will give you another chance to respond here, but if you keep editing as you have without replying here and working with me to manage your COI, I will seek to have you indefinitely banned from Wikipedia as a purely promotional account - you are violating the WP:SOAPBOX policy, and you appear to be violating the COI guideline and the WP:PAID policy. Please stop what you are doing and talk with me here. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 18:27, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Further warnings March 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Drchriswilliams, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Drchriswilliams (talk) 13:46, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Comparison of crowdfunding services. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:03, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. Drchriswilliams (talk) 14:40, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
