Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Millstream3 (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This isn't vandalism, I work for PMETB, I have been tasked to update this information because it is not correct! This is pathetic!!


 * Emily, I'm afraid it doesn't matter who you are, and there is a reliable source of evidence that PMETB is a special health authority. You mustn't just delete text because you don't agree with it: you must provide alternative sources that support your claims.  If PMETB is not a special health authority, it will have been established in legislation.  I would suggest that you provide that as a source, if it exists.  If you do work for PMETB, you might also want to ask the DH to update their website, as they believe that you are a special health authority.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. Millstream3 (talk) 16:32, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, please go ahead and update the article accordingly. You would have saved a lot of time by reading the welcome page and providing sources to support your changes. That's how we work on Wikipedia to ensure that articles are not vandalised. Millstream3 (talk) 16:37, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

If you'd like to stop destroying the article, I'll add your reference in! Please stop vandalizing the article! Millstream3 (talk) 16:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I need to add new information which you have just deleted about the Third National Survey. PMETB does not operate in England, it is a UK wide organisation. And it is not a NHS SHA as I have proven. I have a lot of new text to add to this... but I'm not going to bother doing it if your simply going to delete it! I never new the PMETB Wiki submission would be such a bone of contention! Am I missing something!

Sorry I mucked up your link!!!


 * Emily, you have to understand that there is a lot of vandalism on Wikipedia, and most people who delete text or change it without explaining why aren't trying to improve it. I'm sorry you have had a bad experience today.  The golden rule is to provide authoritative sources to support any claims in the article.  For example, if you wanted to say that PMETB has a chairman called Mr Smith, you could provide a citation link to a page on your website that says that Mr Smith is your chairman.  It's worth reading about how to add links, but you'll get the idea about how to do it if you use the OPSI link I've just put in as an example.  As long as you provide sources to support your text, no-one should revert it.  As Wikipedia is open, of course, any editor is free to change the text; I'm afraid that employees of organisations don't get special privileges.  Which is right, of course, because that would lead to bias.  I should also explain that there is an unwritten rule that people who work for an organisation should not edit the article about that organisation for the same reason... But I think as long as you provide sources, you won't be challenged.  Hope that's helpful and good luck.  Best wishes, Millstream3 (talk) 17:08, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Emily, I've tidied the article up. It was a bit of mess before you came along to update and I had intended to tidy it some months ago. I'll do you a deal: if you'd like to update, I'll take a look tonight and tidy up all the Wikipedia internals. Best wishes, Millstream3 (talk) 09:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * That would be great, I could do with some technical help! It would be great if you could help. I'll do my best to update... want to add some more information as well... if that is allowed? Thanks Ems


 * As long as it is sourced and has a neutral point of view (not self-promoting, not irrelevant, etc), should be fine. Millstream3 (talk) 12:16, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * One more question what is Sandbox?


 * If you click on the Sandbox link in your welcome notice above, it will explain - basically, it allows you to edit pages away from the "live" version. One last thing, you should always sign your posts to talk pages with ~ which inserts your username and time. I'm going to do that here: Millstream3 (talk) 12:16, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, I've edited the article a little, inserting sources and deleting text which seems unencylopaedic. The next two tasks are: These tasks are important, otherwise other editors may delete your additional text for breaking Wikipedia rules. Good luck. Millstream3 (talk) 12:34, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Ensure that no text has simply been copied and pasted from the PMETB website - this is expressly forbidden. Wikipedia is not another homepage for PMETB, it should contain a summary of information in our own words.  It must contain any copyright information.
 * 2) Make sure that a source if found wherever indicated (like this: )
