Disambiguation link notification for September 24[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Robert Kenner, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Peabody. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Please note[edit]

Hello J. Thank you for your work here at WikiP. I have to ask you to please stop adding the Peabody Award category to the BBC America article. First per the guidelines at WP:CAT "Categorization of articles must be verifiable. It should be clear from verifiable information in the article why it was placed in each of its categories." Next, as I posted on the talk page, "BBC America" did not win the award. The program BBC World News America won the award. The category belongs only on the page for that program and, indeed, it is already there. I hope that this helps to explain things. Enjoy the rest of your day or night depending on where you are editing from. MarnetteD|Talk 19:56, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So sorry about that! I'm new to editing and thought I had just kept forgetting to add it on. I'll make note of that for the future, and thanks for giving me more guidelines on how Wiki works. I hope you have a great rest of your day as well!

You are welcome. There are so many ins and outs to editing here. There are several places that you can ask for assistance. The Wikipedia:Help desk and the Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions are good places to start. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 20:49, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Peabody Awards[edit]

Are you affiliated with the Peabody Awards? 32.218.46.147 (talk) 20:16, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am.

Sorry, then you have a conflict of interest. Please read Wikipedia's policy on this. 32.218.152.231 (talk) 19:14, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest regarding Peabody Award edits[edit]

Hello, Jjlynnf. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 32.218.152.231 (talk) 19:14, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My interest is not to defend the Peabody Award, but to update links to our new site and add correct information to pages.

Hello, I was watching you page because I saw you edit a health article long ago. Here is an example of a problem. Some Wikipedia articles were linking to List of Peabody Award winners (2000–09) and it seems like you were removing those internal links from one Wikipedia article to another to replace them with external links to send them to the Peabody website. You did this at This_American_Life#Awards, which puts external links in the body of the article. This is in violation of a policy on external links at WP:EL. Updating the links with references would be good, but something should change to get in compliance. I am not sure what should be done now. Perhaps the other person commenting here has something to say. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:41, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't appear that you've read the conflict of interest guideline or the frequently asked questions for organizations. Please read them so you understand all the issues that are raised by your position, then respond. Is there some reason you can't make your suggested changes on the article's talk page, as suggested in the FAQ? Also, please provide the necessary disclosure required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use. 32.218.45.75 (talk) 22:38, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
