I am new to Wikipedia and having read the COI Policy, it appears there has been a misunderstanding that I am a paid editor of this page and have been blocked. However, I am a volunteer President as a non-profit community radio station. The Wikipedia page for the organisation has been dormant for many years, and attempted to update it to improve the information on the page to better inform the community about the organisation. Could someone please restore the version of the Plenty_Valley_FM page to the one prior to the most recent block. Thank you so much. Wrightceee1990 (talk) 11:55, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrightceee1990 If you are not compensated in any way for your role as president, okay, but you still have a conflict of interest. The text you refer to was extremely promotional and will not be restored. A Wikipedia article must summarize what independent reliable sources say about your radio station, not what it wants to say about itself. If you have independent reliable sources that discuss your radio station, please offer them and any proposed additions here, as a formal edit request(click for instructions). 331dot (talk) 11:59, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Informing the community" is a promotional purpose and not permitted on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not for merely providing information, but for summarizing independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 12:01, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Page Update Edit Request

@Dot331: Hi there. Thanks for the speedy reply. As I say, I'm a bit new to all this and I guess I am just a bit confused on how we get independent sources to edit the organisation's page as we are quite a small operation. I can't quite recall the whole edit that was made, but I know that the descriptor information which is factual around the organisation's coverage area and being an emergency broadcaster to the community. It wasn't in any way meant to sound or intended to be promtional. I think you might be thinking about the sub types of information around show types, etc. Would it be possible to restore that first section at least and I will try to do what I can to establish independent sources in the future. Again I'm very sorry if I've done the wrong thing here as it is definitely not my intention. I was just trying to improve the content of the page generally to accurately reflect the organisation better. Wrightceee1990 (talk) 12:16, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
