Hello, Nickdutt60. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 21:46, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
Re: Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights changes
[edit]Thank you for your message on my talk page. First thing, please take some time to review Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy, as you indicated an association with the Wheelwrights (whether paid or not); that should provide some guidance on how you may have the article updated. Also, repeating the Wheelwrights' history content verbatim from their website causes a few problems - 1) Wikipedia content needs to be "free" text (see WP:COPYPASTE), 2) the text may not necessarily conform to the the encyclopedic tone expected in Wikipedia, 3) there is no point in simply reposting substantial content here that is available from the official website (to which there is a link from the article). Hope this explains the concerns in more detail, however articles could always use expansion, and there are options such as talk pages and noticeboards that may be useful.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights has been reverted.
Your edit here to Worshipful Company of Wheelwrights was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv8xrQQbUpM) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
