July 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Australian Computer Society has been reverted.
Your edit here to Australian Computer Society was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://twitter.com/acsnewsfeed) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest

You have been warned before for your inappropriate conduct in excessively promoting ACS, and I see you are at it again. You have an extreme Conflict of Interest here, and you should not be editing the ACS article at all. In particular, you should not take part in any matter concerning POV, nor accuse other editors of POV edits, since your own viewpoint is anything but neutral. The appropriate action in that case is to raise a question on the article's Talk page and gain consensus.

In this case I have decided not to raise an official warning yet, but if you persist in using the ACS article as if it were some sort of portal to advertise your organization then you run the risk of being banned from editing the page at all. --Gronk Oz (talk) 03:00, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

I have sent you an email offering to discuss this, and you will note that far from promoting the ACS it was a bot reversion. I am happy to discuss this with you, or any other author, via email or on the talk page, and have extended you that invitation personally.

As I mentioned in the email, I'm happy to see facts on the page so people can make up their own mind. Editing using loaded language to convey your point of view about the worthiness or otherwise of the society is not what a factual wikipedia page should include.Acsthomas (talk) 03:06, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
