Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, JackLions. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Madeline (part of me ) 09:55, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Madeline, I am a journalist who has been asked to help them with their page as someone reported it for deletion. I have explained how everything must be factual and with sources and not sound like an advertorial etc. Important to be completely transparent and adhere to Wiki's content policies. I know the drill, just learning the actual Wiki program. Thanks so much for the heads up. Duly noted. Any advice gratefully received. JackLions (talk) 10:34, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Jack, I'm not @Maddy from Celeste but I was the one who nominated the article for deletion. If I may intrude on your conversation just to suggest you disclose your COI on the article's talk page. Any editor can do this for you, but I feel it's better if you do it. The easiest way to do this is by following the instructions on WP:DCOI; essentially you copy this text:
 * unto the top of the Article's talk page.
 * Let me know if I can help with anything. At the moment I am analysis some of the sources that have arisen and been added to the article. My view at the moment is that there is nothing so far that changes my view but I think it is less clear cut and hopefully, as a journalist, you might be able to find sources that we haven't been able to find yet. All the best. Jtrrs0 (talk) 11:20, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Jtrrs! Thanks for the feedback. I'm not actually anything to do with the organisation, just been asked to help make sure they adhere to the wiki rules so a COI isn't really appropriate in this case. But let me know if you think otherwise. Either way I don't mind. Important to get it right. I will try and look for some more sources as suggested. Thank you for your input.

 * Also Jtrrs, I think the claim "It is the UK’s longest-running membership organisation for freedom, democracy and independence" in the opening should be deleted until a source can be found. I have tried to delete but it won't allow me to. Any advice? Sorry. Learning the ropes a little here. JackLions (talk) 16:33, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, Jack, sorry for the delay. If you're just helping them out then I think you are fine; no need to report a COI, particularly given you've been very upfront.
 * Apologies for not responding earlier, I had a real life commitment, but I see Madeline got to editing what you needed. Let me know if I can help you with anything else. Jtrrs0 (talk) 22:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you all. Much appreciated. JackLions (talk) 10:05, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello JackLions! Your additions to Conservative Democratic Organisation have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.  VickKiang  (talk)  02:50, 13 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi VickKiang, The page is now directing to the Conservative Party which it is not anything to do with. I will work on the text as I am a journalist and have been asked to help the organisation set up the page. The organisation is getting a lot of press in all the national papers. It is important it has it's own page. Will follow your guidelines. Thank you very much for your help. Jack JackLions (talk) 03:53, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * A journalist and have been asked to help the organisation set up the page- so do you have a WP:COI? If so, it's advisable that you do not edit the page. Also, it's inappropriate to quote excessively, which is a WP:COPYRIGHT violation. I would recommend that you develop your page in draftspace first. Thanks.  VickKiang  (talk)  03:55, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * No conflict of interest. I am an independent journalist just doing this as a favour and am new to working on wikipedia so thank you for explaining these rules on here. I can't work out how to get the article back into draft space. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Jack JackLions (talk) 06:37, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
 * A favour- are you a professional journalist who the company frequently contacted to help in setting up the page? If so, it is a WP:COI, but otherwise, no worries and please ignore this part.
 * Additionally, first you need to provide two or three references reliable, independent, significant references showing the notability guideline for organisations, WP:NCORP is met. Afterwards, please make sure that you can write in a neutral manner that is encyclopedic, follows the neutral point of view policy, and has only limited quoting, instead of 90% of your article being quotes. If so, feel free to start a draft and submit it for review at WP:AFC, as if you create it in mainspace again without much improvement it might be deleted or restored as a redirect. Thanks.
