Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mouth (book), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages The Wolf of Wall Street and Jack Falcone (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

[edit]

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Antonella Gambotto-Burke, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. You should not be removing templates that point out your own WP:COI NeilN talk to me 12:01, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What should I do to change it, then? Help! I don't understand! I linked it to the Wiki page ... should I have linked it elsewhere? Sarahgeorge (talk) 03:03, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stop editing the article and suggest changes you want to make on its talk page. You've been pointed towards it often enough but have you actually read WP:COI, especially WP:NOPR? --NeilN talk to me 03:52, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. In the meantime, feel free to delete my changes if they do not meet your requirements. Sarahgeorge (talk) 04:15, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Mouth (book) for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mouth (book) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mouth (book) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 10:11, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Sarahgeorge. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship 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.
  • 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Please carefully note the disclosure requirement. NeilN talk to me 13:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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.
