Green Brigade

I wish to make amendments to the green brigade wiki page. Some of the information on the page is both in accurate and out of date.

I wish to make amendments to the green brigade wiki page. Some of the information on the page is in accurate whilst other information is inaccurate.

As a member of this group I wish to make amendments to ensure this is correct and upto date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mickey1312 (talk • contribs) 14:18, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Mickey1312: welcome to Wikipedia.

It appears to me that you may have a conflict of interest as a member of the said group, and hence, I must recommend that you carefully read Wikipedia's behavioural guideline on conflict of interest editing. Wikipedia strongly discourages such editing from taking place, and in fact, Wikipedia urges one to discuss concerns or edits on the article's talk page, rather than editing the article itself.

Secondly, because you've disclosed this conflict of interest – the following will not necessarily apply to you anymore (with pertinence to one-half of the changes you wish to make). The content you wish to add must be written in a neutral point of view, and verified by reliable sources (newspapers, books, media; no primary sources) — now, the content you added was not verifiable no reliable source was cited. Because you've disclosed your conflict of interest: you will not be able to make those changes you wish to make; those changes can only be suggested on the article's talk page — here — where an uninvolved editor without such conflict will assess those changes, and make them accordingly, should they be appropriate.

Thirdly, and most importantly → even with the conflict of interest issue aside: you are not allowed to remove content that is verified by reliable sources, without obtaining community consensus to do. This is in response to the other half of your edit, which was the removal of the "controversies" section. You've said the removal was for inaccuracies; if that's the case, open a discussion on the article's talk page as to explain what is inaccurate. Furthermore, because of your connection to the group, it may be reasonable to assume that the only reason you would like such removal of content is because you don't like it — which, in itself, is why Wikipedia strongly discourages conflict of interest editing.

To sum up: as a result of your connection to the group, editing said article would be inappropriate, and hence: discussing such changes you would like to see with the article will be more than appropriate. I hope I've been clear in my explanation – I know discussing content, rather than editing it, isn't exactly quick... but I don't make the rules here.

Editing Lobsang Tanzin

Dear Melbournestar,

Given my last amateurish attempt at editing pages on Wikpedia,I have come up with some credible data and sources for the same. It would be great if you could have a look at it. I will need your expert advice at this.

I have the data in a word doc. I am not sure how to share it with you. Please let me know if I could send it to you in a mail or if you have any other suggestion.

Regards, Sid5926 (talk) 06:53, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there @Sid5926: feel free to copy-and-paste the contents of the word document into an email to myself or on the article's talk page if you'd like. We'll then go over things from there. Kind regards —MelbourneStar☆^talk 06:59, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
