Welcome!
Hello, Charles.gaulin, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Stuartyeates (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the welcome Stuartyeates! I did think about the conflicts of interest clause before creating the article. This is my first article... I am a bit of a novice and would love your help. I am a medical student that had the opportunity to learn a bit about the foundation, two of my musculoskeletal block (several years ago) professors are members. I am not a member of their organization but I have made suggestions in the past on website improvements and online communication in a non-official capacity. I felt this article was a necessary addition to Wikipedia because the ANZBMS participates in many landmark osteoporosis trials and creates guidelines regarding the management of bone health used across Australia. Its first president T.J. Martin was the head of the Australian team that discovered parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP), a hormone secreted by cancers which damages the skeleton. Other organizations such as Osteoporosis Australia and International Bone & Mineral Society have similar Wikipedia entries. I wrote the article trying to be as impartial as possible, using PubMed, the Medical Journal of Australia, the general news and the Australian government websites as part of my search strategy but there is little information regarding the organization itself that doesn't come from their reports. I would like your help making this article meet all the requirements to be published. Thank you!! Charles.gaulin (talk) 08:24, 10 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia content should be based on reliable sources that are independent of the subject. None of your draft's current sources meet that standard, I don't see any general news articles or PubMed among your sources, and the only MJA article was written by the ANZMBS itself. Merely summarizing what the ANZBMS says about itself is not an appropriate way to write an encyclopedia article. This goes doubly for statements that might be considered promotional. For example, "the ANZBMS has become one of the premier bone research societies in the world" - says who? Only themselves? And regarding the significance of their participation "in many landmark osteoporosis trials" - have newspapers written about that? Do scientists who are not directly involved with the ANZBMS discuss their guidelines in reliable magazines or peer-reviewed scholarly journals? Is there independent verification that people even follow those guidelines? Huon (talk) 18:06, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
