Revert of Holly Fulton
Hi, thank you for your contribution to the article on Holly Fulton. I've reverted the edit as you have lost the image from the article and not replaced it with another. Any images used on Wikipedia must be freely licensed and need to be uploaded either to Wikimedia Commons or Wikipedia. Here's a link to Wikipedia Upload Wizard and another to Wikimedia Commons. I hope that helps.

One other small point, if you plan to contribute to other features on Wikipedia you might want to consider changing your user name as it very probably breaches our user name guidelines since it appears to be the name of an organisation. Many thanks. Libby norman (talk) 17:16, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Libby, Thank you for the heads up. I am the sales manager at Holly Fulton and trying to edit our brand page as we did not originally create the current one and the information is incorrect. I am not an expert on how to do this so I apologize for causing a stir. Do you have any advise on how I can continue doing this without getting blocked? I don't plan on changiong any other articles so I assume its fine to keep the user name, what do you think? Thanks, Amelia

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Holly Fulton, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". This was major, unexplained deletion of sourced material, not a minor edit.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 18:29, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Gentle warning about your changes to Holly Fulton
I'd really suggest you take some time out here and read round some of the guidelines on Wikipedia. I know a previous incarnation of this page was deleted and when I recreated it I was careful to adhere to notability and neutrality guidelines. With a name like HF Design Ltd, you are making a lot of changes that might very well lead people to assume you have a conflict of interest. As noted above, you are likely to be blocked for having a company name and it is not helping that you are making a series of rapid PR-style edits to a single page with no evidence of other activity on Wikipedia.

Help editing brand page
Hello, I work at Holly Fulton (HF Design Ltd) and am trying to edit our brand page because we did not create this and the information is inaccurate. When editing information it keeps reverting back, can someone please advise on how we can make it stick? I need to change the whole layout, along with content and images. I will not be editing any other page on wikipedia. Many thanks, Amelia (hf user (talk) 19:01, 28 October 2014 (UTC))
 * I have disabled the Request Edit template, as no specific edits were requested, nor was it on the right page. Please point out specific errors, provide a source where the correct information can be verified, and post the information on the Talk page with the Request Edit template. This would be much appreciated in helping us ensure the accuracy of information. Thanks! CorporateM (Talk) 05:20, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi Amelia, and thanks for getting in touch. The problem you're encountering is that you don't 'own' the page on Holly Fulton, which was created by volunteers – like all pages on Wikipedia – and designed to meet Wikipedia's guidance on referencing, impartiality and structure and style. You've made a series of quite radical changes with no real explanation and that is what has alerted a number of editors who have reverted your changes. As sales manager for Holly Fulton the brand, you shouldn't be working on the page as this is a clear conflict of interest. Please do read that link to find out what it means for your input on Wiki but, in a nutshell, if there is factually incorrect information, the best way to manage it is to raise this on the Holly Fulton Talk page, so that neutral editors can review the issue and see if it can be improved/amended. Changes can then be made if there is a clear factual inaccuracy – any information inserted must be supported by third party references (that means newspapers, magazines and other media not connected commercially with Holly Fulton). As this page is also a biography of a living person, there are quite specific guidelines about any concerns Holly Fulton may have about material that appears on the page directly related to her life/career and a link is posted at the top of the Holly Fulton talk page if advice is needed about that at any time. Hope that clarifies. And in answer to your earlier question, you are liable to be blocked with this user name – actually, even more so if you are only found on the Holly Fulton page! Best wishes Libby norman (talk) 19:07, 28 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi Libby, Thanks for explaining. We think that an electronics company originally created this page because the image was of Holly at a collaboration launch and it mentions the project in the text. Holly is concerned there is lots of incorrect information on here such as her date of birth and details of her early life and career, so we thought the most honest thing to do was amend under a company user name but it seems we were wrong! If I post the text I wish to change on our talk page will a neutral user check this and kindly make the changes for us if agreed? Thanks for your help.

 * Hi Amelia, I created this page (I'm part of the Fashion Project at Wiki) and felt that Holly Fulton met notability. Any information I used was based on published information – you will see source references throughout that can be checked out. The image I sourced via Flickr. The image you have replaced it with is much better. In terms of any inaccuracies, yes do please post on the Holly Fulton Talk page and I will ensure that I and/or colleagues review the changes you want to make and do what we can to rectify any clear inaccuracies and also remove misinformation. Many thanks Libby norman (talk) 15:39, 31 October 2014 (UTC)

Revert of Holly Fulton in order to restore sourcing
Hi, I'm sorry but I've reverted this page to a version that is acceptable for Wikipedia. You cannot use this page as an advertisement and by removing all solid references sources that were properly cited to replace them with external links that don't actually explain where information came from you have made it likely the page will be deleted, since all biographies of living people must have independent and verifiable references. I have tried to explain the issues surrounding companies/people making edits to their own page because of the conflict of interest. Clearly you have failed to grasp the potential problems and also seem not to realise that you do not own the page. Please avoid further edits to the page. Instead, if you have queries or wish to correct factual information, discuss them on the Holly Fulton talk page. Libby norman (talk) 09:52, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
