Whpq - The original submission for the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center page on Wikipedia has been severely reduced and looks nothing like the first version. Why is this extremely reduced version sill showing a conflict of interest? Cmclamb (talk) 22:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC) 22:05, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The reason is because the edits of any substance that remain are still from editors closely affiliated with the subject of the article. -- Whpq (talk) 11:53, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have done some copyeditting on the article and have removed the COI tag. -- Whpq (talk) 18:10, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reminder about our principles of operation here

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting information

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Talk:Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

I want to say thank you to Whpq, Orangemike and DGG (and the other contributors) for allowing the information about the Duke Comprehensive Cancer Center (DCCC) to persist on Wikipedia.

{{helpme}} Please allow me to ask another question and let me know if this is the correct place to do so. The IP address that was assigned to my computer (actually a group of computers where I was connected) was banned. I have not been editing the DCCC pages to avoid any further conflict of interest but curious why the IP was banned. Is my tone in asking questions offending anyone? If so, please accept my apology!

In your block message, you should see a line of text that starts with either {{unblock-ip| or {{unblock-auto|. Copy that whole line here, and we'll be able to take a look and see what's going on. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 15:18, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, but I do not see any block or unblock tags that you mention. It's been unblocked as I'm able to add the question as well as this "answer." I'm just trying to learn the rules. Sorry for any trouble. Cmclamb (talk) 16:09, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
