On editing FCAC

The pattern of editing Financial Consumer Agency of Canada suggests that it is the agency itself which is directing editing of the article, and your editing here suggests that you are their agent. Editing of articles on oneself or one's employer is heavily discouraged under WP:COI guidelines. Inclusion of copyrighted material from other sites (such as the agency website) is forbidden, and such text will be removed when it is found. Finally, the requirement to use secondary sources means that information about the agency must be taken and sourced from other authorities, and not solely from the agency's website or publications.

In this particular case, you appear to be largely restoring material which was removed from the article because it was found to be problematic. Such edits are likely to be summarily reverted. If you wish to keep them, you need to engage other editors on the article's talk page. Mangoe (talk) 15:48, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. As I will explain on the article's talk page, I am indeed employed by the agency. However, all the contributors to this page in the past have been employed by the agency and have endeavoured to include only factual, unbiased information about FCAC's history and programs. As the agency works to protect and inform consumers, this entry will benefit them, rather than materially promote or improve the agency, itself.

In this way, the article is similar to articles about other government agencies, including the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, the Canadian Border Services Agency, the Canada Revenue Agency and others. Scott Bury (talk) 17:13, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
