 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Improving the Consumer Focus article
Hi Alistair,

I chanced upon the Consumer Focus article again today, and I'd like to help you improve it. At the moment, it could do with some re-writing: it's written like an organisation website, not at all like a normal Wikipedia page. It doesn't appear neutral, and it doesn't really conform to our normal article structure.

I'm guessing (but I may be wrong) that you have some connection to the organisation, because that article is the only one that you've been editing under this username. This isn't absolutely a bad thing, because that means that you have intimate knowledge of the subject, but you should definitely read our conflict-of-interest policy: for example, it recommends that you declare any such interests.

If you'd like some specific advice on how to improve the article, please drop me a note on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I get a chance! --Slashme (talk) 08:03, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
