User talk:Catherine Deeprose EHDN

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

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 abuse of multiple accounts.
 * 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; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

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). Again, welcome! Serols (talk) 18:43, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Catherine Deeprose EHDN. 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 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. Drmies (talk) 18:44, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message! I'm just updating the content (which is about 10 years old) with more recent information taken from the EHDN website. I believe this all complies with your ethics! Catherine Deeprose EHDN (talk) 18:51, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I've just seen that my updates have been rejected. This is really upsetting! The information that is presented currently is out of date, we just want to up date it. Please can you advise how to proceed? Best, Catherine Catherine Deeprose EHDN (talk) 19:07, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to European Huntington's Disease Network, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. ... disco spinster   talk  19:41, 8 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I'm really confused. The information on the page is more than 10 years out of date...I'm updating it with the most recent information. Shall I just dismiss this page and start a new one? Catherine Deeprose EHDN (talk) 19:42, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * There is no need to remove the information that is already there unless its inclusion would be misleading. If there is more up-to-date information (with reliable sources) then it can be added to the article, not replacing it. ... disco spinster   talk  19:51, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is misleading - it is out of date and does not reflect what the organisation does. We don't even know who created the original page but the information is wrong. Can we look at having this taken down please? Catherine Deeprose EHDN (talk) 19:54, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't know what you mean with "we". Now, address the conflict of interest please. Drmies (talk) 19:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No, you need to FIRST disclose your conflict of interest, and then you need to basically not copy some website into our article. You removed all the references and left only one, and your text was clearly promotional. But before you do anything else you must address the conflict of interest. Drmies (talk) 19:52, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I have disclosed my conflict of interest
 * I did not copy and paste "some website" in your article
 * Please can you explain the procedure for removing outdated information that is no longer relevant if what I've done is clearly incorrect and resulting in such unpleasant messages.
 * Catherine Deeprose EHDN (talk) 19:58, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * You have not. Where is it? The note on your user page isn't exactly clear. If that is indeed the disclosure, I will make it more clear by using the appropriate userbox, use of which is explained in the link I provided earlier. Drmies (talk) 20:00, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
 * In the meantime, an IP editor came by and updated that article. Whether it's correct or not, I can't tell. I have the feeling you know who that IP editor is; please don't do that again. Drmies (talk) 20:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
