User talk:Andyandersonand00

Welcome!

Hello, Andyandersonand00, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Andyandersonand00/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Hi Trey,

Can I get your help in how I can set up a wikipedia information article for share - the Scottish health research register and biobank, it's similar to the UK Biobank and they have their wikipedia page already set up - UK Biobank. Share is authorised by the CSO and NHS Research Scotland and I have mentioned their links as well as a proof/source. Could you please guide me how can I setup a page for SHARE to inform people about this great initiative. Andyandersonand00 (talk) 14:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

I think you've misunderstood how Wikipedia works. It's not intended for promoting any organisation, however deserving. If an topic is notable, someone will at some stage write an article about it. That article must be neutral and based on citations from reliable independent sources. If you have no connection with the Biobank, you may have an attempt at creating such an article. However, if you do have some connection with it, please don't try. Also, please understand that such an article will inevitably include mention of any bad publicity it may receive. The UK Biobank article was originally created by a regular Wikipedia editor who was not involved with that project and knew how to write an article. There is no question of it being "authorised" - the UK Biobank doesn't have the authority to create, delete or edit articles or to otherwise interfere with anything we do here.

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, Andyandersonand00. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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.Deb (talk) 14:04, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
