[edit] Hello, I'm Andy Dingley. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Mabey Group without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Andy Dingley (talk) 15:54, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello, DaveMclean. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Mabey Group, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.
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.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- 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.
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. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:54, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Correct spelling is Lliswerry. I have lived in Lliswerry all my life. Attended Lliswerry infants, juniors and high schools. Please note all spelt Lliswerry. The name of the main road that travels throughout the original ward is named Lliswerry road. The public house which has now been demolished was called the Lliswerry and the name of the current conservative club is called the Lliswerry & Nash. Finally a survey was conducted on Facebook and the result was 100% voted in favour for the spelling as Lliswerry. Might I ask one question to the person who spells it as Liswerry, where are you from?
Mabey Group
[edit]Thank you for your interest in editing the Mabey Group group page, it appears you have a conflict of interest and perhaps represent Mabey Group through your PR services. While wikipedia doesn't directly prohibit paid editing, it is discouraged because often these editors are new and don't understand the policies and manual of style for wikipedia. Since you are new, I want you to feel welcome, but also help you understand why you are likely finding that your edits to that page have been removed. A good place to start would be to review Contributing to Wikipedia for some guidelines. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks! Tiggerjay (talk) 23:23, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
