Conflict of Interest
Hello CLPGS. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The City Of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to you, your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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. Ratibgreat (talk) 13:33, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

The City Of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society
I have taken the opportunity to clean up your new article. Your conflict of interest (COI) has already been pointed out. This COI may prevent you from seeing that the exquisitely detailed history of the group that you offer is of interest only to other members of the group. What would make the article more relevant to readers of Wikipedia is information on how the society has had an impact on the world at large. It is a registered charity, so someone must think that their work has value. I note that some research has been published by the group -- more information about that would certainly help. In general, more information about the society's interaction with the world at large, rather than its own internal affairs is what is needed. However, you would probably do well to request a name change as usernames that imply editing on behalf of an organization are disallowed. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:10, 30 September 2011 (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 you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Ioeth (talk contribs twinkle) 14:19, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Loeth please respond
I am trying to view a message left for me regarding the content of the article deposited, it also had info on how to change my username. I am not affiliated with the CLPGS other than a friend of mine asked me to post some info regarding the society as there is little reference to such an old organisation. please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CLPGS (talk • contribs)
 * I have restored the prior content of this talk page along with the above block notice for the user's information. Not sure why the blocking admin chose to delete all other page content when useful information to the user was included there.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:51, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
