Your changes to National Coastwatch Institution
I have hidden the changes you made concerning future stations at Minehead and Burnham, which are both at planning stage; I note the latter may eventuate as a mobile-unit. Also I deleted Minehead as you placed it in the south-coast list, whereas it should've been under west-coast.

Wikipedia is a general-purpose encyclopedia which deals in facts, not press-releases and planning applications, which are better-suited to news organisations and public-derived content at supporters' and social-media groups. No-one expects new-users to know this, and I have left a note in the edit-summary for regular-patrollers of recent changes as I am not around much nowadays.

You can see more at what Wikipedia is not. Thanks.--82.13.47.210 (talk) 13:34, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
Hello, Bosley4. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page National Coastwatch Institution, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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.-- 82.13.47.210 (talk) 18:53, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Marking changes as minor
Hi Bosley4! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at National Coastwatch Institution that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. -- 82.13.47.210 (talk) 18:54, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
