Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to HM Prison Shepton Mallet. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Josephinebeasley. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page HM Prison Shepton Mallet, 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. Kj cheetham (talk) 09:29, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good afternoon, thank you for your in-put. There is no conflict of interest, we are ensuring that Wikipedia is factually correct, and improving/correcting sections that are not correct. As this information is available to the public, we have to ensure that it is historically and factually correct.

Hi Josephinebeasley, Please read WP:COI. You have already said you work for The Campbell Group who operates the prisons, therefore it is a conflict of interest by definition. If information is factually incorrect, please ask for it to be changed on the talk page. Thank you, -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:58, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again kj Cheetham, As the people who have all of the correct knowledge and information about the history of the prison, we are in the best position to add details that are relevant and factually correct, which is what Wikipedia is designed for, unless i am mistaken? I have made a request on the talk page for Shrewsbury Prison, for someone to edit on my behalf if i provide the facts and details. Please only message if you are in a position to help with editing and updating with current and correct information. And please remove the warnings at the top of the Shrewsbury prison page, as these are also incorrect. Many thanks. (Josephinebeasley (talk) 12:59, 23 September 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Hi Josephinebeasley, The COI policy is quite clear that Wikipedia is not for organisations to edit articles on themselves. Please see WP:COIREQ if you need further guidance on making an edit request and/or visit Wikipedia:Teahouse if you have any further questions. -Kj cheetham (talk) 13:24, 23 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
