Freeloading
What on earth was Human Elephant Conflict Task Force (HECTF) Workshop - IUCN AsESG about??? Wikipedia is not a free host - please draft your documents elsewhere. Once the event has taken place, and only if it is notable, someone with no COI will write about it here. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I would like to edit the title and I have added an explanation at the top of why this was put on to Wikipedia. It will be contributed to by the participants and will be useful resource for anyone searching for such information. The info will also be hosted on websites but this version is free to edit and thus has immense benefits to citizen science.


 * I would however want to change the title to "Human Elephant Conflict - Asia - Living Toolbox for Mitigation" Hectf.china (talk) 09:07, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

I repeat Wikipedia is not a free host. You want a page that will be contributed to by the participants. Fine. Go to comparison of wiki farms and find a suitable site - anywhere except Wikipedia! &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 09:12, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

OK. I will move it somewhere else but I still think that the posting of this (with title change) in Wikipedia is ideal as it (the ideas for conflict mitigation) are a collaborative effort of many professionals and individuals and just because one of the organizors started it, doesn't mean that there is COI and thus should be deleted for "freeloading". I was not promoting any organisation or group and no one was profiting from this in any way. Thank you for your input though and all the best. Hectf.china (talk) 09:21, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
