Please note, claiming that you are "the creator and series editor of Meerkat Manor" requires proof. Your word will not be accepted just because you say it is true. If your claim is true, then please be very careful making any edits to the show page as you automatically have a conflict of interest. Make sure any edits you make adhere to the neutral point of view policy. I've fixed some of your recent edits which edged that line. Collectonian 16:25, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that as you have claimed association with the show, you should post any content editing changes you feel need to be done to the Meerkat Manor talk page rather than to the article to avoid issues, as per the conflict of interest guidelines. I have removed your recent edit as it conflicts with what the source states.Collectonian 16:17, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey...[edit]

I'm highly doubtful that you are the creator and series editor of Meerkat Manor. The researchers(Tim Clutton-Brock) pointed Caroline Hawkins and AP to the Whiskers since they were a large, well-habituated group. This shows you are less knowledgable than you think and I want to let you know I don't believe a shred of what you say so far. Cruise meerkat 23:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Scientific Films has confirmed that she is Caroline Hawkins. Also, please be mindful of the WP:Civility policy when posting to people's talk page, particularly in not making accusations. Collectonian 19:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoah. When did this happen? Cruise meerkat 01:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I received the email confirmation today at 10:59 am. Collectonian 02:20, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Verification[edit]

Hi, Caroline! I've added a tag to the Meerkat Manor talk page to note that you have been verified. This is done whenever any one associated with an article is confirmed as being who they say they are so other editors can be aware of it (for example, see Talk: Roger Ebert and Talk:State Library of Victoria). It should also take care of the comments some of the others have left. Again, welcome to the wikipedia. As I mentioned before, any edits to Meerkat Manor will receive extra scrutiny as an account with a self-identified COI (and its preferred that you just post to the talk page). However, we welcome your corrections and comments on the article talk page, and of course your expertise is always welcome on any article where there is no conflict of interest.

Tim Clutton-Brock[edit]

I have written an article on Tim Clutton-Brock. Like you, I have been the victim of the rudeness of user:Collectonion -- perhaps he should heed his own civility warnings. Anyway, I think it is best to ignore his abruptness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antique cuckhoo clock (talk • contribs) 18:55, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Small Error about the Movie[edit]

Hi there

I just wanted to point out one small error on what is now an astoundingly accurate and comprehensive Wikipedia entry.

Meerkat Manor - The Story Begins was not made out of re-edited footage. Every frame of it was specially shot for the movie. I have contacted the journalist to wrote the article to correct that fact and I'd be grateful if someone could amend the Wikipedia entry accordingly.

May thanks.

November 2008[edit]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins, 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 or creating 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,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. I think we discussed this before. If you feel something is incorrect, please note so on the talk page. Do not edit the article directly and do not put in unsourced claims, particularly in GA/FA level articles. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:34, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

December 2008[edit]

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Meerkat Manor: The Story Begins. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. As you have already been told before, as you have an extreme conflict of interest in the Meerkat Manor articles, you should not edit them to change details, particularly when those details conflict with reliable sources. If you feel something is inaccurate, note so on the talk page providing alternate reliable sources and allow others to make any needed changes. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:08, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
