User talk:Aboutfram

Welcome!

Hello, Aboutfram, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Framlingham, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Drm310. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Framlingham, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Fram
Hi. Sorry, but I've reverted your adding of an external link to the Fram page. I think it's a pretty clear conflict of interest - something that, for better or for worse, isn't really accepted here. Sorry about that.

I hope there's stuff you can add to the Fram article though. It's not that great at the minute and could use some good quality content. If it's a place you know lots about then it would be really, really helpful if you could add some content - there's currently not really anything on the history of the place, for example, and it could use more detail on the local community I think - just checking now, for example, I'm surprised that Fram Gala's not mentioned at all. That could use a good paragraph *at least*! And there could easily be something added on the local shops and so on - and the schools are only very briefly mentioned - there should be a section on education really. As could the castle which, I think, is pretty significant really?

There are lots of ways you can add content. I'm happy to help organise stuff but it's not somewhere I've ever really been more than once. If you wanted a guide for the sort of thing we might eventually end up with (and this usually takes weeks if not months by the way!) then the Aldeburgh article isn't a bad one to take a look at. It's far from perfect, but it's not a bad starting point.

Sorry again about the revert. Don't be put off by that please - Fram really needs someone who knows a lot about the place to add content and you'd be an ideal person to take that on I think. Blue Square Thing (talk) 19:48, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:56, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
