COI
[edit] If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Celery, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
- and you must always:
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. This is specifically in regards to adding what appears to be your own website to pages. I suggest presenting them on a talk page for another editor to add. WLU (talk) 22:25, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Copyright violation
[edit] Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Gala (apple). For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Don't copy text directly from external websites onto wikipedia, adjust to a summary style that does not involve direct quotation. WLU (talk) 22:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Examples
[edit]Consider the following differences, which I see as a valid use of the information and links you added to the pages. Given the publisher of the information appears to be a university, it is potentially legitemate, but must be managed to avoid being spammy or violating copyright. [1] and [2]. I'm particularly proud of the celery article, I think it's a nice integration with the rest of the page. Ignore the alterations made in sections other than the post-harvest one, they just happened because I noticed while editing. WLU (talk) 00:31, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
