Please pay attention to Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy[edit]

Hello, Greg Sheppard. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Sheppard (band), you may have a conflict of interest.

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.

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. Dl2000 (talk) 17:28, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

About copyright[edit]

Hello Greg Sheppard, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Sheppard (band) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh, sorry Greg, sometimes this happens, so we need to readd material in a way that doesn't violate plagiarise or closely paraphrase sources, like I have done here. Will try to readd like this. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:54, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

suggested revision[edit]

I am forwarding to interested editors some raw information about Sheppard for you to consideration when next you update this entry in Wikipedia 1. Sheppard have been nominated in the following categories for the Carlton Dry A.I.R Awards a. Breakthrough Artist of the Year b. Best Independent Single or EP for Geronimo 2. Sheppard are also performing live at the 2014 AIR Awards ceremony. ^[1]

Sheppard have now also charted in Europe and Asia. ^[2]

3. There are a number of factual inaccuracies in the article that need to be corrected. a. The Sheppard label is "Empire of Song," not "Empire of Sound". b. The Sheppard siblings did not attend high school in Port Moresby, they attended primary school only in Port Moresby. George Sheppard attended Brisbane Boys Grammar for his high schooling, while Amy and Emma attended Somerville House in Brisbane for their High School.

Signed

Hi, Greg Sheppard, I am in the process of expanding and improving the verification of aspects of the Sheppard article. I have already corrected some of the "factual inaccuracies" indicated. I have not yet checked the material regarding AIR Awards, but hope to get to it soon. The charting in Europe and Asia requires a Recommended chart: I hope to be able to look for these also.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:39, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have finished my recent spate of editing at this article. I put the AIR Awards/noms into a newly created subsection but did not add them to the main text. Their charting in Europe/Asia: you've supplied whale report which gives iTunes listings: these are not Recommended charts and are not included in the article. I've added some approved charting for European countries (only for "Geronimo") in the main text. I haven't found any Recommended charts for appearances in Asian markets. Six of their nominations for ARIA Awards are still pending: until 26 November 2014.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 00:52, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you have further concerns about this particular article they would probably be addressed more promptly if you placed them on the article's talkpage. If you have a conflict of interest then use the following: Click here for a "Request edit". Other editors can then discus your proposal(s) and determine whether adding them is appropriate. The more impartial, reliable sources you provide, the more likely your request will be accepted.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:39, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
