Hello, Anglianaction. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Anglian Home Improvements, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
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.
- 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. Note that Wikipedia'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.
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. Melcous (talk) 13:00, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Anglianaction", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 13:00, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Hello, thank you for your message on my talk page. Your username suggests that you have an agenda in editing this article - meaning that you are seeking to promote a particular point of view. Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view. All information included in them must be referenced to reliable sources, which does not include sources such as twitter or youtube. Please read those two policy guidelines I have linked to. I would suggest if there is information you think should be in the article, and you can provide reliable sources to back it up, the best course of action would be to suggest changes on the article's talk page, and then you can let other editors who do not have a perceived conflict of interest (which doesn't necessarily mean that you work for the organisation the article is about - just that you have some real world connection to them which could lead to editing that is not neutral, which you do seem to have) add them to the article. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 03:10, 22 August 2015 (UTC)
