Your recent edits

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:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. 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. --SineBot (talk) 11:25, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest (IP resolves to MSHK-LIMITED which is the holding company for Ministry of Sound)

Hello, 62.244.189.244. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but 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.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• 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.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. DuncanHill (talk) 13:01, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest editing

Hello, 62.244.189.244. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article James Palumbo, Baron Palumbo of Southwark, you may have a conflict of interest.

• I am placing this warning as you have removed a Conflict of Interest notice from an article with which you have a connexion. This IP address resolves to a company owned and chaired by James Palumbo. The notices should not be removed until a consensus has been achieved on the article talk page. Please discuss the matter there. It would also be appropriate for you to declare your interest when you do make suggestions there. DuncanHill (talk) 09:33, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks DuncanHill, all taken on board. I am an employee of Ministry of Sound Ltd, working in the IT Department for a number of years. I originally removed offensive material added to James Palumbo’s page but subsequently have made several edits from IP Address 62.244.189.244 to ‘improve the article’. With hindsight I was naïve in my understanding of the rules and ethos of Wikipedia. I’ve reviewed the recent edits made by DuncanHill and Drumies to improve the article and bring it in line with Wikipedia’s rules. I would like to apologise for any issues my edits have caused.
