Link in Ergonomics

Thanks for the comment on my talk page. On Wikipedia, we distinguish between references used to verify information in the article, and external links at the bottom of the article. I removed the link you added because it clearly wasn't a reference, and it doesn't meet WP:EL. It's a nice essay, but not the type of article that we'd normally add as an external link. --Ronz (talk) 16:19, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bedfordshire on Sunday has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://twitter.com/bedfordnews (matching the regex rule \btwitter\.com\b). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 14:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Hannahm23 - the link on the BoS page (to bedfordtoday.co.uk) is working just fine for me. Perhaps you have some filter in place? I don't have a problem with the Twitter page personally, just perhaps put it down on the external links page. The article could certainly do with expanding though!

The idea of the encyclopaedia entry is that the references need to be authoritative and verifiable. So, generally statements of fact need to be backed up by a reference. It happens that some of those authoritative references are on rival newspapers! Generally, the entry needs to have a Neutral Point of View (NPOV) and shouldn't be written like an advertisement. It's quite difficult (but not impossible) for someone working for a company to write an NPOV article.. the best thing to do is stick to hard facts and avoid puff.

Here are some ideas for the entry - the early history of the newspaper, awards that it has won (you should cite a reference somewhere for these), perhaps an expansion about Iliffe / Yattendon in the appropriate articles might be interesting. The BoS site also has videos which are probably of interest and might be worth commenting on. And the Frank Branston article could definitely do with filling out.. I don't think you can talk about BoS without mentioning Frank!

And if you really, really wanted to do something nice for Wikipedia, how about releasing some of your photo library into the public domain ;) Shritwod (talk) 09:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Hannahm23. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Wild Life Sydney, 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. Hb1290 (talk) 03:55, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Maxisun

The article Maxisun has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet WP:GNG, GNG tag in-place since 2014

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
