User talk:Family Lives

June 2022
Hello, I'm Isabelle Belato. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Family Lives—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you. Isabelle 🏳‍🌈 12:00, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Family Lives. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

 * Can you tell me what you mean about advertising? I am just stating facts about the organisation and I work for this. If you want it to stay with old information that is 10 years old then archive the page. I don't understand what we are advertising. Family Lives (talk) 12:09, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Those AGMs were immediately followed by FamilyLives’ first Board meeting. Parent Network’s merger into the combined charity took place on 31 March 2000. Dorit Braun had led the mergers and became Chief Executive of Parentline Plus (previously appointed Chief Executive of NSA in 1997). She was awarded the OBE in June 2000 and took early retirement April 2008. - This is not accurate information anymore, she doesn't even work here anymore!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text   at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Nick Moyes (talk) 14:21, 27 June 2022 (UTC)


 * To answer your earlier question: Your edits have been removed and redacted because they were blatant copying of copyrighted content from the Family Lives website. For a start, you should have summarised content in your own words, not copied them verbatim. Secondly, you should be summarising what other Reliabloe Sources have written about the organisation, not what it says about itself. If anyone wants to read that, they can visit an External link to your website.  Thirdly, as you have a Conflict of Interest, you should have declared that COI and made an WP:EDITREQUEST on the talk page and stated precisely what wording you wanted an unconnected editor to make. Fourthly, we do not permit shared accounts or promotional names, so I have blocked this one, but allowed you to create another for just one person to operate. Thank you.
