Several members of hackers.mu have left. Please see list of ex-members: https://hackers.mu/members-1. Wedgeantilles0 (talk) 15:26, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That link is considered a primary source. Wikipedia relies upon secondary and tertiary sources for information. It appears both Wedgeantilles0 (talk · contribs) and Pirabarlen (talk · contribs) are connected to this organisation and therefore have a conflict of interest. Editors with a conflict of interest are asked to request edits to articles where a conflict of interest exists rather than edit the article directly. -- Longhair\talk 22:20, 5 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sending the link about the COI. When I created the page in 2017, I was a member of hackers.mu. After going through the COI policy, I now realize that I made a mistake as I should not have created the article in the first place, as this constituted a Conflict of Interest.

Hi all, if someone left an organisation this in no way means the organisation changed name or became something else. I never wrote this article, Wedgeantilles0 created it while he was within the organization by himself. He wanted to start some different organization later on, am glad for him, but this in no way means if 5 members left, our organization changes name. I believe if he wants to create a new organization and someone wanted to write about it, then the proper way to go would be to create a new article rather than remove the content from the organization he left. Example, if some employees left xyz ltd, xyz ltd does not change name. I was sloppy in my edits when I noticed the sudden change, and i do extend my apologies for the lack of proper protocol.
