Hello, I'm Jeraphine Gryphon. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Self-help, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 19:37, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Highdozen. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.
 * 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.

'' — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 07:40, 14 June 2015 (UTC) Reply from Dr Les Spencer My PhD was on the pioneer of Self Help in Australia Dr Neville Yeomans. Refer http://www.tc-of.org.uk/index.php?title=Dr_Neville_Yeomans

Laceweb is the Archive of Yeomans' life work. As Yeomans biographer I have no 'conflict of interest' except having his work recognised.

Neville commenced around 30 self help groups around Sydney Australia in the 1950s and 60s and was Australia's first Director of Community mental Health and Director of Community Health - hence a person of interest.

The latest bit added to the Yeomans' Para includes a sample of the processes used by Dr Yeomans in 1988 1989 (referred to in the 'Living' reference) in introducing self help ways used in the 1960s groups.

I respectfully request that the Yeomans' reference including 'reference to 'Living' be restored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Highdozen (talk • contribs)


 * I'm sorry but that's definitely a conflict of interest. I'm not restoring that edit as I think I removed it for good reason. You can post on the talk page of that article and see if any neutral editor thinks that edit should be restored. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 14:36, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
