User talk:Front Line Defenders

September 2017
Hello, I'm Domdeparis. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Atena Daemi‎, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''The texte was totally unsourced. Please feel free to add it again only if you can provide a reliable source'' Domdeparis (talk) 10:24, 8 September 2017 (UT

I tried to add a source ie a link to the web page of Front Line Defenders which published the information and the site blocked it on the basis it was breaching the guidelines on promotion
 * Ah you shouldn't be spamming links to your own web site which is an advocacy site from what I can gather. Please do not forget that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a WP:SOAPBOX for advocacy purposes and Wikipedia is not a means of autopromotion. The sources have to be reliable secondary sources. I would suggest using the sources that you used to write the information on your web site as i imagine that you did not invente the information. You might want to read WP:RS. Please also remember to sign you posts on talk pages. Domdeparis (talk) 12:28, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. 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. Thank you. -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 12:35, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Re the user name this is clear but i note that on the Atena Daemi Page wikipedia has accepted links to Amnesty International web pages. The content on Front Line Defenders pages is also based on information from in country sources not secondary reports. I can see that the quote from Atena is different and should be linked to a source which gives the full text of the letter.


 * Wikipedia is a community and it is not the organisation that accepts or doesn't accept sources it is the individual members of the community that propose sources and anyone can challenge them...or not. I do not know enough about your organisation or amnesty international to say if your reports are more or less likely to be considered a reliable source or not. But there is a wikiproject dedicated to human rights WP:WikiProject Human rights. I would strongly suggest leaving a message on their talk page to enquire about human rights editing they will surely be able to help you navigate through the potential minefield and avoid conflict of interest problems. Also please take note of the requirement to change your username or create an individual account under an individual username. Collective accounts are forbidden and each editor is responsible for their own edits and must have an individual account. Domdeparis (talk) 15:29, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
