COI notice
Hello, Learningfrommistakes. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AngusWOOF ( bark  •  sniff ) 17:13, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I very strongly advise you read the above message. Praxidicae (talk) 17:22, 30 August 2019 (UTC)


 * , You have so many errors on this profile that I am trying to help you with. I made valuable contributions to incorrect information that I would appreciate not being deleted. The book titles are wrong, the dates of publications and publisher information is not all correct or omitted (You Are Awesome was published by Wren & Rook in 2018, not 2019!! and The You Are Awesome Journal in 2018), and the public figure is known for being a thought leader and author. Please see the following links in citation ,

There are additional awards in journalism, publishing and of cultural significance that have still not been accounted for. Matthew Syed is publicly notable for being a founder and speaker in relation to a business he set up in 2013: This is a reputable citation as it comes from a government site. Another incorrect detail is that the figure is called a 'marketing consultant' and 'managing director of a sports marketing company', which is not given any citation at all. These are both factually incorrect and should be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Learningfrommistakes (talk • contribs)


 * , you need to disclose whether you are associated with Syed or his consulting business or related organizations. Then if you have corrections for the articles you can post edit requests at the talk page for Syed and we can help put those in. Yes, Syed is notable. I've personally read and enjoyed his books. However, his consulting company might not be independently notable so that would likely redirect to Syed's article. AngusWOOF  ( bark  •  sniff ) 19:52, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Matthew Syed shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
