Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Malton and Norton. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.

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.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. &mdash; MusikAnimal talk 18:30, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Your edits on Malton, North Yorkshire
Hello. Please not that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a blog or a local newsletter, meaning that all content added must a), be notable enough to be included in an encyclopaedia, and b), be supported by reliable sources. So information about minor events that are of interest only to the people in and around Malton, as opposed to being of interest to readers all over the UK (or an international readership), have no place on Wikipedia. Thank you. Thomas.W talk 18:36, 4 June 2014 (UTC)

Role of the encyclopedia...
Can I draw your attention to Thomas's comments above? They seem to apply to the latest edits as well. Hchc2009 (talk) 16:23, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Malton, North Yorkshire. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. – Davey 2010 •  (talk)  14:42, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
