Thanks for contributing to the article Field Studies Council. However, one of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. Please help by adding more sources to the article you edited, and/or by clarifying how the sources already given support the claims (see here for how to do inline referencing). If you need further help, you can look at Help:Contents/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse, or just ask me. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 17:10, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Field Studies Council
Hello, AnnaKatLewis. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 17:13, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

Your edit to Field Studies Council has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be blocked from editing. Please note that material needs to be independently sourced. Dormskirk (talk) 16:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the direction. I am trying my very best to follow the instructions. I am wanting to update the page, not use it for advertising or promotion. I believed it was incorrect to link a cite directly to the organisation's website, but if this information is not readily available elsewhere, is it in fact acceptable? Many thanks!

 * Hi - The information needs to be from reliable, independent, published sources (see WP:REPUTABLE and Independent sources) so anything published by the Field Studies Council would not be acceptable because it is not independent. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 18:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
