User talk:LeilaSnowball

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

Choose (website) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Choose (website), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

 * It has citations from Sky, Now, Hyperoptic, media coverage from national press, and tweets from Members of Parliament. LeilaSnowball (talk) 12:32, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, LeilaSnowball. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Choose (website), 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 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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:37, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Paid editing
As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:LeilaSnowball, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 13:37, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


 * The Choose (website) submission was not paid. I clicked through from the MBNA page as the page was already created, but empty. LeilaSnowball (talk) 14:18, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Just curious as ALL your edits relate to Choose or are adding links to www.choose.co.uk/ which would indicate some kind of conflict of interest. Theroadislong (talk) 14:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok, well they aren't all related to Choose. A lot of the pages I've come across on Wikipedia haven't been updated or touched since 2017 or earlier, and I've added useful independently sourced edits to a number of pages. LeilaSnowball (talk) 15:25, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * But the vast majority are sourced to www.choose.co.uk/ which looks like spamming. Theroadislong (talk) 15:29, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I disagree. I've edited pages with fresh information and corrected out of date statements on pages that haven't been touched since 2017, including the Fuel Poverty piece for example, where I added a number of citations to various research and web pages. I haven't added anything that isn't relevant to a page, adds information and freshness to the topic, and is correctly cited. LeilaSnowball (talk) 15:31, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Choose (website)
Hello, LeilaSnowball. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Choose (website), a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again&#32;or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 09:44, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
