Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, MKilbrideston. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Tom Winsor, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:08, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Hello MKilbrideston and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to Tom Winsor, do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Tom Winsor has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Jcc. I noticed that you recently removed content from Tom Winsor without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:09, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

I've pasted in the templates you see above to give you some important links to read as your first edits committed a number of errors (namely: copyright violations, white-washing, and the addition of unsourced content) on a biography of a living person, which we take especially seriously due to the legal consequences involved. Please read all the templates and pages they link to, and respond if you have a conflict of interest (a condition of our terms of use). It sounds harsh, but it's important to note now that if you continue this behaviour, you may be blocked from editing. jcc (tea and biscuits) 18:13, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
