User talk:GlobalEducation

MagsCognita, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Hello - I would like to request an editor's advice please. Could you look at the latest amendment to this page? Someone has change the founding date to 1988. On the note they state the founding date was wrong according to other resources. However no 'resources' are cited. The group began with its first school in 2004.

Conflict of Interest warning
Hello, GlobalEducation. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Cognita, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DuncanHill (talk) 16:57, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
Hello - I would like to reply to the conflict of interest note that is appearing on our page and understand the best way to address this. I work in Communications for Cognita and only ever make factual changes so the Wikipedia page is factually correct. For example, my changes today are for this reason. Not to have made them would mean the information here is factually wrong. I would be very grateful for input from Wikipedia editors if there is a different process we should follow. I look forward to the view of Wikipedia editors - thank you in advance.
 * The guidance above is very clear. You should not be editing pages about the company you work for, if you believe changes should be made then propose them on the talk page. DuncanHill (talk) 12:27, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, that's helpful. Two quick questions, which I'd be grateful to get the input from a Wikipedia editor on please...1) when I propose changes on the talk page, is there anything I can do to make sure they are seen? The reason I ask this is that I previously did this (you can see the request here above, re the founding date of the company). That was last year, and no one ever responded, there was just a Conflict of Interest warning put on the page. I am very up front in my user profile about the fact I work from Cognita. I am also respectful of not putting 'spin' on this page; only factual changes. I will of course not make the changes myself if that's not in keeping with the guidelines; I do just want to make sure that facts in need of changing, do get changed. So...Q 1 is, is there anything additional to suggesting changes on the talk page that I should do in order to ensure my suggestions get seen. And my Q2 is...can a Wikipedia editor take a look at the page to check you are happy to remove the 'warning' that appears at the top of the page? I really am keen to be totally by the book!! Thanks so much, appreciate any time or help Wiki editors can give... Just including my sign-off GlobalSchoolsWatch (talk) 16:22, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Can I also ask why my user name is appearing differently? My username is GlobalEducation but when I use the sign-off symbols and it publishes, it shows as GlobalSchoolsWatch. Help! GlobalSchoolsWatch (talk) 16:25, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
