Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Health and Social Care Information Centre. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article NHS Trust Development Authority, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 12:30, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to NHS Trust Development Authority, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because the chosen username is a clear violation of our username policy – it is obviously profane; threatens, attacks or impersonates another person; or suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page.

 * Your chosen username remains wholly inappropriate. We do not permit accounts whose names imply shared use or ownership by an organization for promotional/shared use. See our username policy, and then choose a different username. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 18:37, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Note for reviewing admin: strongly suspect this username refers to NICENDPB - and is therefore, again, unsuitable. See also recent contributions from IP 85.118.31.68 and User:DHNHSALB. Yunshui 雲 水 11:52, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * You don't have to use your own forename or surname in any obvious or hidden form. A lot of us have our names in concealed form, a lot use totally unconnected names, and some use their own names. You could call yourself 'Herbert the Aardvark' or 'Twizzling shortbread' and no-one would worry. (We did have an admin called 'Boing! said Zebedee'.) Is that difficult? What you must not do is appear to do is represent an organisation. As simple as that. Accounts are for individuals only, so one called 'BillandJane' would not be allowed. We don't have any customers. (No apostrophe, please.) We have readers and users (sometimes called editors). We are also not paid, except for a handful of editors who are employed by the WikiMedia Foundation. When editing as volunteers (which they do), they use ordinary user names. When speaking officially, they have another name with (WMF) in it. Peridon (talk) 17:01, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Content removal
You have made multiple edits with different accounts, removing content without explanation in the edit summary. The agencies and organisations are "located in the UK", the edits are about location and not who is being served by them, this is an international encyclopaedia. Please also note that Wikipedia accounts are strictly for individuals.Theroadislong (talk) 16:51, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

I have corrected the format of the two requests above, to reflect the fact that they have as yet not been reviewed by an admin, although admins have commented elsewhere on the page. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:13, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
