Recent edits to Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament Vandalism
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed 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. Thank you!

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Gea Jones. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Eric Austen, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Pam D  16:11, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Image
Hallo Gea

If you want the image of your father's CND badge to appear in Wikipedia, you need to upload a copy of an image to which you own the copyright (eg you took the photo), and be prepared to allow it to be used and re-used by anyone for any purposes. Use the "Upload file" link at the left of the page, and follow the instructions there. Until an image is uploaded with the right copyright permissions, all we can do is make a link to your site where the image is held, as I've done under "External links" in the Eric Austen article. Please note too that, as described formally above, you shouldn't edit that article, or any other content about your father: you can made comments on the Talk page to suggest changes or improvements to the article, but these can't be done on the basis of your personal knowledge - Wikipedia needs "reliable independent sources": books, magazines, journals, appropriate websites.
