June 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to The People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted by ClueBot.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
Cluebot produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
The following is the log entry regarding this warning: The People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne was changed by Peopleswriter (u) (t) making a minor change with obscenities on 2010-06-15T16:15:48+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot (talk) 16:15, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest?[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The People's Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne, 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, 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.

Hi,

Please note that I am a professional published historian (that's actual books published). My additions to the People's Theatre entry are all accurate, third-party references. I wrote an authoritative history of the theatre in 1991 and I am now updating their entry in advance of the institution's forthcoming 100th anniversary. There is no "agenda" and the People's Theatre is a not-for-profit amateur organisation.

Hello, Peopleswriter. I don't know if you will look at this account again. Wikipedia is often confusing for new users, particularly those who are used to the conventions of 'real-life' credentials. The credentials might be adequate in a 'real-world' discussion, but Wikipedia requires all information to be referenced to sources. Please see the above links that my colleagues have provided.
