Welcome![edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Here are some links to pages you may find useful:

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create an account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

Create new pages and rename pages
Edit semi-protected pages
Upload images
Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed

If you edit without an account, your IP address (80.168.218.99) is used to identify you instead.

We hope that you choose to become a Wikipedian and create an account. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on this page. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).

Happy editing!

But please understand that plugging your organization isn't allowed here, and also understand that there have been cases where organizations modifying their own Wikipedia entries have generated adverse publicity as a consequence. Philip Trueman (talk) 14:52, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

July 2015[edit]

Hello, 80.168.218.99. 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 in the article World Cancer Research Fund International, 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. Thank you. Philip Trueman (talk) 15:08, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. SmartSE (talk) 15:26, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Please stop for a moment[edit]

Hello. So far you've completely ignored the warnings that Philip Trueman has given you above. There are several problems with the updates that you are trying to make. First you are copying material from WCRFI's website which is a copyright violation. Even if you do have permission to copy the material, it is unlikely to be suitable to include in an encyclopedia where neutral language is very important. However noble it is, an organisation's "vision" doesn't belong on Wikipedia and including links to the organisation's website throughout the article is frowned upon. I've removed your edits for these reasons and please do not undo my edit. If you wish to have another go, please review 'my first article' which covers everything you need to know about how to write an article that will stick. In short, make sure that what you write references independent reliable sources (newspapers, books, scientific journals) and write in your own words. Thank you SmartSE (talk) 15:42, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the discussion page for an IP user, identified by the user's IP address. Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users. If you are an IP user, you may create an account or log in to avoid future confusion with other IP users. Registering also hides your IP address.
