Back-Up Trust[edit]

Hello, MarkBackUp. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Back-Up Trust, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID). Thank you. Drchriswilliams (talk) 12:41, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Back-Up Trust, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Drchriswilliams (talk) 10:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Back-Up Trust. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Drchriswilliams (talk) 10:37, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Back-Up Trust, you may be blocked from editing. Drchriswilliams (talk) 10:42, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Help me with editing a page![edit]

Hi,

I'm trying to update a charity's page with the accurate information, but it keeps reverting it! I'm not trying to add promotional information, but it won't let me add anything that's objectively accurate. I've even included citations and it keeps changing it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkBackUp (talk • contribs) 10:46, 9 February 2018 (UTC (UTC)

Hello, by your username I assume that you work for this charity. You need to review the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy(the latter only if you are paid to edit) and make the appropriate declarations. Generally one should not directly edit in the area of their conflict of interest, instead suggesting changes on the article talk page. We all want the page to be accurate, but it needs to be done in the correct manner. Please start a discussion on the article talk page about any changes that you feel are needed.

Hi, I've added my thoughts to the page's Talk section - will someone review it?

I think you would be OK to put the working name of the charity only at this time. I would give the rest some more time for editors to weigh in. You could ask the person that reverted you directly on their user talk page. I would tell you that your case would be helped immensely if you made sure that you used sources other than your charity's website or any primary source. Wikipedia has very little interest in how an organization describes itself, our only interest is in what third parties write about a subject. 331dot (talk) 20:27, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Back-Up Trust. Drchriswilliams (talk) 22:45, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to add the charity's working name and it hasn't been accepted.

Welcome to Wikipedia[edit]

G'day mate and welcome to Wikipedia. Just to let you know that there are a few users on here who get a kick out of talking down to people who are new here on Wikipedia. Drchriswilliams is one them. You see, all articles on Wikipedia belong to him, not you. In fact, the entire Wikipedia website was written by him (all languages) and is hosted on an old Acorn computer in his granny's garage. So just bear that in mind when you're on Wikipedia and learn your place. He is a god here. You are nothing. Alright pal? LoveEverybodyUnconditionally (talk) 18:50, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
