Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, CJMorsey, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Satu Suro 01:31, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

April 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Wikipedia. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines

Welcome to Wikipedia. I note that you recently confirmed to a media organisation that you are, in fact, an employee of Fortescue Metals Group. Firstly, please know that we as a community are always open to anyone correcting clear errors in anything we have written. If someone had, for instance, clearly vandalised the Fortescue Metals Group page, you would be well within your rights to revert that vandalism. However, we take a very dim view to editors making edits on topics where they have a clear conflict of interest. As you have conceded that you do have such a conflict of interest, I suggest that you thoroughly familiarise yourself with our guidelines on conflicts of interest if you wish to continue contributing to pages related to your organisation. In particular, edits you have made, in which you remove well-sourced statements about companies or persons because you disagree with them or simply do not like them, violate our policies on articles presenting a neutral point of view. At best, edits like those you have made earn you an admonishment like you have received on this page and in the media. At worst, you may be blocked from editing indefinitely. You have also probably noticed that the community is very quick to undo such undiscussed edits.

Allow me to reiterate: we welcome your contributions. It is not in our interest or in yours for us to present incorrect information. However, as a community we feel that people with demonstrable conflicts of interest should not be making edits that have even the potential to be contentious. If you wish to continue contributing to articles as a representative of your organisation, I suggest the best course of action would be to constrain yourself to editing the talk pages of articles you have conflicts of interest in, suggesting edits that can then be made by uninvolved editors if they agree. More details on how to do this can be found here. I would note that this is the approach that Telstra has taken in the past as evidenced here; their efforts in that instance were very well received. Thank you. bou·le·var·dier (talk) 13:22, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
