Hello, I'm Arjayay. I noticed that you recently removed content from International Voluntary Services without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. - Arjayay (talk) 17:12, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in International Voluntary Services. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Please read and follow Help:Referencing for beginners - Arjayay (talk) 17:12, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Farmboydj. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page International Voluntary Services, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 22:37, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Arjayay - I'm not sure of the content removed but probably didn't mean too. I added considerable detail and in doing that did delete some of the more summarized text that was there initially. I did delete some details on individuals. The International Voluntary Service article is about the organization. Each of the 1000+ individuals involved with the organization has their own story and going into one or two of them is not very helpful in explaining the organization.
 * The IVS organization no longer exists. I am an ex-volunteer. My post is actually the work of a group of 8-10 people that collaberating in this.
