Explain your edits
Hello, I'm Pjposullivan. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Downside Abbey without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Pjposullivan (talk) 10:52, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

Aevansdownside (talk) 11:17, 9 April 2013 (UTC) Hello, Sorry being new to wiki i didnt understand the rules. I removed the content on the page as I am the network manager at Downside school and Abbey. We are trying to give the school and Abbey a better image. So i was removing the Child abuse section just incase we have parents looking at the content.
 * If the section you removed references reliable sources, it goes back in. You cannot re-write history. It is what it is. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:23, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
 * You people never learn, don't you? Isn't it bad enough that it happened, no, it has to be whitewashed too. Are you thinking about the victims one single minute? No, you are thinking about the image of the school in public....and I am sorry, if you allowed these bad apples to teach at your school, than something is serioulsy wrong with your personnel policy. This is really disgusting. Lectonar (talk) 15:09, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Dear All, the reason i am changing what is there, is that it is not the facts. Only one monk went to court. And yes you are 100% right it is horrific what happened and should have never happened. But the people who did this are no longer at the school. I appricate that it will never go away. However, we do need to let the public know what the school has done to stop this from every happening again.
 * Wikipedia is not here to help you "give the school and Abbey a better image". It is not for any kind of promotion or image-polishing. As someone connected with the school, you have a Conflict of interest and should not edit the article directly, but make suggestions on the article talk page, declaring your interest, and leave uninvolved editors to decide.

 * I full appreciate that Wiki is not here to give a positive image, but it should give the facts, the facts on the Downside page are not correct. I have only been here 3 months and this happened years ago. All I was trying to do was say yes it happened, but the school have made changes because of it. I wasn’t trying to give it a positive image just the truth, which should neither be positive or negative. Just the Truth. Comments made by (talk) were totally  unprofessional and unpleasant.

 * I agree, personal comments are inappropriate violate our policy on no personal attacks.
 * It would be best if you went to Talk:Downside Abbey to explain your concerns there. Be specific about which statements in the article are incorrect, and how you would correct them. Be aware that we need to cite verifiable and reliable sources for any claims, either positive or negative. ~Amatulić (talk) 16:30, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello, Aevansdownside. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see 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. Bob Re-born (talk) 19:35, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
