Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Australian Securities Exchange, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

• Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
• Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
• The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Australian Securities Exchange was changed by Lawson m (u) (t) deleting 18635 characters on 2010-08-26T23:44:24+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 23:44, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Australian Securities Exchange

Please make sure that additions/changes to articles are written in a neutral tone. An encyclopedia article is not supposed to sound like the subject's web page. ... discospinster _talk 00:19, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

The recent edit you made to Australian Securities Exchange constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to remove content from articles without explanation. Thank you. Funandtrvl (talk) 00:25, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add controversial and/or unsourced content to the Australian Securities Exchange article w/o first discussing the changes on the article's talk pg or at WP:FINANCE. Thank you, --Funandtrvl (talk) 00:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

This is a second request to please not add promotional material to the ASX article. Since you said you work for the exchange, please read Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. Also, please do not delete the info about the history of the exchange, the article needs to be encyclopedic, not a press release for your company. --Funandtrvl (talk) 01:33, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps I can help here. Lawson, thank you for acknowledging you work for ASX. Obviously you have first-hand knowledge of the organisation that means you can see ways in which the article could be improved. And, true, the article is pretty dreadful :-). However, as you can see from the notes left by other editors above, there is considerable concern about the scop for introducing overly promotional material into the article. The best way for you to participate in improving the article is to post proposed amendments on the article talk page. There, other editors can examine them and, if they think they improve the article, then other editors can transfer them into the article. One of the key things needed in the process is reliable sources provided in the form of inline citations. Here's an example, using text that you proposed for inclusion, but to which I have added a citation:

ASX Group can be described as a multi-asset class and vertically integrated exchange group. Its activities include primary and secondary market services, including the raising, allocation and hedging of capital flows, trading and price discovery (Australian Securities Exchange); central counterparty risk transfer (via subsidiaries of ASX Clearing Corporation); and securities settlement for both the equities and fixed income markets (via subsidiaries of ASX Settlement Corporation).

(Note however not all the facts in your text - particularly the names of which subsidiary does what task - are on that webpage, so another source, perhaps from elsewhere on the ASX's site, would ultimately be needed to cover all the facts).
Once you placed the above on the talk page, an editor such as myself can come along, assess it, and then add it if it seems like a good idea. Which i will now do. Regards, hamiltonstone (talk) 01:43, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

PS If you want to delete text from the article (perhaps it is inaccurate, out of date, or unencyclopedic - the article is full of such rubbish, frankly), then copy and paste it on the article talk page with a note saying you think this should be deleted, and explaining briefly why. hamiltonstone (talk) 01:52, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Recent addition at ASX

Hi - just letting you know i reverted a recent addition you made - that text had already been added in the body of the article. Some of it still needs references though :-) hamiltonstone (talk) 04:58, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
