October 2015

I provided information directly from the school's site (cpls.org) and also cited the news article for the other addition http://cjonline.com/news/2015-09-26/cair-paravel-growth-blessing-and-challenge - please check again and correct your deletion. Thank you. btw - it's not helpful when you 'ask' for additional information, only to delete immediately. No wonder I don't normally update inaccurate data. It's too time consuming.

Hello, I'm ScrapIronIV. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Cair Paravel-Latin School, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Response

What you provided was a live link to the "Further Reading" section. That is not a citation. Additionally, while the intent may have been to use that as a citation for the material that was added, there was no connection to Further reading and a reference for new material. Additional, it is a WP:PRIMARY source, which is avoided because any organization may choose to write whatever they wish about themselves. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and relies on WP:SECONDARY sources. The tone of the additions was promotional and not encyclopedic. Wikipedia is, again, and encyclopedia and not advertising space. Finally, if you have a conflict of interest then you should not be editing the article at all. I will place a few messages on your page to help you understand the nature of the community here, and hopefully help teach you how to edit. That would be, articles other than places where you would have a conflict of interest. Scr★pIron^IV 20:59, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 64.238.238.218. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Cair Paravel-Latin School, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation'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.

Last but not least: All contributors must not contribute content that violates conflict of interest laws (just as all contributors must respect copyright). The Unfair Commercial Practices Directive is valid throughout the European Union. In a German court decision in 2012 (that also relied on the directive) regarding Wikipedia: "The court held that when a company edits a Wikipedia article, the resulting text falsely creates the impression that the edit has no business-related purpose. By implication, the judges found that the average reader of Wikipedia articles expects to find objective and neutral information." That is a very very important condition, comparable to the FTC Guide" that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than the sponsoring advertiser”. This expectation by consumers of neutral information on Wikipedia, requires that companies not write "their" WP articles for PR/marketing purposes.

Editors who are compensated for their contributions should make the disclosure by placing the {{connected contributor (paid)}} template at the top of the talk page of affected articles and filling in the parameters. They should also supply this information as part of a list on their user page of all their paid contributions.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Scr★pIron^IV 21:05, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
