Additions to New Zealand government articles
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your interest in editing articles about the New Zealand government. I note that your additions are generally written in a promotional tone and based on each organisation's own website/publications, which is not really appropriate for Wikipedia; see WP:PROMO. Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective.
If you'd like to add content to these pages, I'd suggest taking a look for independent sources in the first instance (for example, newspaper articles), and using those as a basis for your edits; otherwise your contributions are likely to be reverted or removed. I'm happy to help if you have any questions about this. Chocmilk03 (talk) 04:39, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Possible COI editing
[edit]Kia ora, thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Further to @Chocmilk03's comment above, I would also like to mention that if you are a New Zealand Government employee, you probably have a conflict of interest editing articles about NZ government agencies. Please familiarise yourself with the rules around COI editing, as there is a process you can follow that will hugely reduce the likelihood of your contributions being removed.
