Hello Chrissiestew. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. 99.12.241.215 (talk) 16:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Copyright issues and using Wikipedia only for promotional purposes apply here as well. 99.12.241.215 (talk) 16:08, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. I have taken great care not to violate copyright laws and have edited the text significantly to ensure that it does not appear as a promotional article. It is interesting to see that the sister organisation of CSR Europe, EABIS, is listed without any issue. --Christine Stewart 16:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll look at that again; more to the point, eventually an administrator will review the article and deletion rationale. As for the second article, it already is tagged for notability--a quick review indicates no objective reliable sources, and a promotional tone, as well....this is what happens when organizations' public relations departments attempt to write Wikipedia articles about them. 99.12.241.215 (talk) 16:34, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Ethical marketing. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 00:35, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
