Hello, I'm Excirial. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ottawa Hospital Research Institute seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 18:35, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 18:45, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I work for the Ottawa Hospital research Institute. I am trying to update our Wikipedia page.

Why do you keep deleting my entry?

Since you're an employee at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute you have a clear conflict of interest with the topic of the article. If it strongly discouraged (bordering not allowed in severity) to edit an article you have a conflict as interest with, as writing a neutral, encyclopedic article may be difficult or even near impossible when one has such. Just ask yourself: If the Hospital would ever receive negative publicity, would you add this to the article? And if another editor would add a sourced section containing this criticism, would you delete it? Even if it is not intentional it often proves to be difficult to keep an article overall neutral in tone. Exceptions to the rule exist of course, but the added text is quite the polar opposite of expected article content.
The content you added itself is a clear demonstration of non neutral, promotional content. This is - in part - caused due to the information being copied directly from the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute's website. This brings us to the second issue, being that the content added is a copyright violation. Wikipedia can in no circumstance accept copyrighted material from an outside source unless it is licensed under CC-BY-SA or GDFL (Or a compatible license). Note that it does not matter if the organization you work for owns the copyright on the added content - as it is clearly marked as "Copyright 2011 Ottawa Hospital Research Institute. All rights reserved." it cannot be used on Wikipedia. Having said that it is rarely a good idea to copy a commercial website ad verbatim to start with due to the aforementioned neutrality issues.
