November 2022[edit]

I undid your edits to British Thyroid Foundation as they were not an improvement. Unsourced content such as affiliations (Society for Endocrinology), inappropriate external links such as to Society for Endocrinology. Use Society for Endocrinology and [https://www.yourhormones.info/patients/patient-support-groups/ Society for Endocrinology] See wp:ELNO. Removal of {{failed verification}} tag without fixing the problem. e.g. a citation that supports the content. And more.
See help:referencing for beginners and wp:Simplified Manual of Style. You could dissect another similar article to see how one cited, formatted, etc. Adakiko (talk) 10:22, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
Thank you for your message. We have been trying to improve our page by removing broken links and adding references to external organisations. How is is possible for us to show that we are affiliated with the Society for Endocrinology, please?
Many thanks

Links that are useful, but are no longer functional may have been archived. Search the Wayback Machine or Archive.today. See {{cite web}} - add fields "|archive-url=" and "|archive-date=".
Googling "British Thyroid Foundation" site:endocrinology.org (use quotes) returns numerous hits. Two possibilities among many[1][2] Adakiko (talk) 12:49, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • You need to disclose that you have a conflict of interest on your user page here: user:BTF20. You should do this whether or not you are paid by the BTF, but especially if yo are. See wp:PAID. In general, you should use an {{edit request}}. A major concern is that you would be adding promotional content to the article or removing content that is not favourable to BTF. Be very careful if you edit the article. See wp:NOTPROMOTION.
I added a few {{citation needed}} tags to the article. These should be addressed by adding an wp:inline citation supporting the content / statement. Otherwise that content should be removed if it is not wp:verifiable by wp:reliable sources which are not wp:primary sources. Thank you Adakiko (talk) 13:16, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Patrons[edit]

The citations you added for patrons Clare Balding, Jenny Pitman, & Gay Search: (source text follows)

[[Clare Balding]]<ref>{{Citation |title=Clare Balding |date=2022-11-22 |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Clare_Balding&oldid=1123255167 |work=Wikipedia |language=en |access-date=2022-11-28}}</ref>, [[Jenny Pitman]]<ref>{{Citation |title=Jenny Pitman |date=2022-10-18 |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jenny_Pitman&oldid=1116891692 |work=Wikipedia |language=en |access-date=2022-11-28}}</ref> and [[Gay Search]].<ref>{{Citation |title=Gay Search |date=2022-01-17 |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gay_Search&oldid=1066165464 |work=Wikipedia |language=en |access-date=2022-11-28}}</ref>

simply link to the Wikipedia article and do not support that they are patrons. It should link to an off-Wikipedia source. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:52, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adakiko, thank you for your help with this. The Wikipaedia link to Clare Balding lists her as one of our patrons. Would this be acceptable? Gay Search and Jenny Pitman are listed on our website as patrons https://www.btf-thyroid.org/patrons but I cannot find external references to this. Is it acceptable to link to our patrons page? Thanks Anna 157.231.31.162 (talk) 10:16, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
