User talk:EEKological

Welcome
Hello, Derbyshire Wildlife Trust, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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. 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. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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.

The 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! NtheP (talk) 15:06, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

DWT
I appreciate what you are trying to achieve by linking the list of reserves to the Trust's website but then the article becomes little more than a linkfarm, the Trust website is linked once, that's enough - anyone wanting details can click through to that and navigate from there. Better would be to add reference about the Trust and it's history as currently this article is entirely unreferenced and while it remains so risks deletion as unverified.

 * Got your message (that is the way to do it :-) ), the article really does need beefing up with references, preferably independent of the Trust itself - internal refs are just about acceptable for things like the history but anything else should be separate.

 * SAw your note on NtheP's page. It looks like someone has explained to you that you need to use a different username to that of "Derbyshire Wildlife Trust" (hence, we're talking on EEKological's page now). However, your message still said that it was posted by the DWT - have you logged out of the DWT account and logged back in as EEKological? Only takes a mo, and you really should not be using the DWT name again. - Sitush (talk) 17:49, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
