Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Asia-Pacific Green Network has been reverted. Your edit here to Asia-Pacific Green Network was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://pakistangreens.blogspot.com) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:42, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Keli Yen, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Kennedy Graham, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Mattlore (talk) 02:03, 22 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello Keli Yen, welcome to the mysteries of Wikipedia. I see that you are full of good intentions, but you have run foul of the Wikipedia rules already, and I'm sorry that your first experience must have been frustrating. As per your edit summary, if you work for Kennedy Graham, there is nothing that you can do about having a conflict of interest - that's simply a given. You should therefore not touch his page. I suggest what you should do instead is the following:
 * Post any change that you would like to suggest on the article's talk page in the following format: It currently says: "blah blah blah" Please change this to say the following instead: "xyz xyz xyz" If you've got a source available that confirms the information, please say what that is. Good sources are newspaper articles or books. Questionable sources are things published by the Green Party or Graham himself (same issue - potential conflict of interest). Unsuitable sources are blogs.
 * Lots of editors keep an eye on talk pages (Wikipedia is a bit like the GCSB). Somebody will come along and deal with the request. Either, your suggestion gets adopted, or somebody will modify it, or it will get rejected. If it's not adopted as suggested by you, you can expect to read on the talk page why that is.
 * I hope this will work for you. Any queries, please post them here, or on the talk page.  Schwede 66  09:03, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
