July 2009
Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Wyatt Riot (talk) 09:39, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

I have removed your edits to Ningbo. Unfortunately, they do not meet our requirements for verifiability and no original research. They also violate our policies on conflict of interest and external links. Thank you. Wyatt Riot (talk) 06:35, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, 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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, 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 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Stifle (talk) 10:52, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for valuable remark. I am well aware of this. However naturally the curator of a organization will be interested to present its organization to the interested part. It is natural to give the credit to other people, which was done by the way for example Ningboguide, helloningbo etc. It is also most natural that the topic once started will be developing and open for people related to the topic. I personally don't see a conflict of interest to include an important organization into Wiki. I see more interest of conflict when commercial entries are done, like the Nottingham University or Wanli. So reconsider the removal. It is in the benefit of the community to receive information about the services offered to expatriates. May be you have never lived in a foreign country, so you can hardly understand the importance of such organization and historical development. comment appreciated NingboExpat (talk) 00:30, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Userpages
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I noticed that may not meet Wikipedia's user page guideline. If you believe that your userpage does not violate our guidelines, please leave a note here and we can discuss it. As an alternative, you may add  to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it, or you can simply edit the page so that it meets Wikipedia's userpage guidelines. Thank you.
