User talk:NutSoc

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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! Adakiko (talk) 07:51, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

The Nutrition Society
I removed your edits as the use of wp:primary sources in this case appears to be self-serving. Addition of the list of past presidents is wp:UNDUE given that most do not meet wp:notability (people). Adakiko (talk)

July 2022
Hello, I'm Adakiko. I wanted to let you know that one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to The Nutrition Society—has been undone because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help desk. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 08:56, 2 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello Adakiko,
 * I am just trying to understand your responses.
 * I will delete the NutSoc account and register with a new name that is not linked to anyhting.
 * What does the following mean? "use of wp:primary sources in this case appears to be self-serving". Am I allowed to reference the official Nutrition Society website?
 * "Addition of the list of past presidents is wp:UNDUE given that most do not meet wp:notability (people)." Does this mean that the table of past presidents cannot be created because they are not notable. Is there no way to list them? surely the list of past presidents should be included even if they do not each have their own Wiki page or am I misunderstanding it?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you,

 * If you have a close association with the Nutritional Society (NTS) (on their staff, associated with staff in some way, or paid to edit, etc.), per Wikipedia policy, you must disclose your relationship. See above for blue links for policy. This is true no matter your user name. (see wp:username policy on policy).
 * Wikipedia prefers secondary or tertiary sources. The blue link above to WP:primary gives information on this. (Links prefaced with "wp:" or "Wikipedia:" are articles in the Project namespace that are administration content.) "Self-serving" in that the nutritional Society content probably does not contain any self-criticism that secondary sources might have. Wikipedia is "warts and all". See Identifying and using primary sources. If NTS meets wp:Notability (organizations and companies), there should be numerous non-NTS articles available usable as a wp:reliable source (RS). Avoid the vanity press.
 * The journal link is probably acceptable.
 * The list of presidents is a large fraction of the article and is probably wp:UNDUE weight. Such information is probably not relevant to an encyclopedic article. People won't likely be interested in such info; if they are, they can easily google it. People who are on lists need to meet wp:notability (people) and should have a Wikipedia article. Of the first ten, Christine Williams (nutritionist) and Ann Prentice have an article.
 * Per wp:CREDENTIAL, please do not use "Dr." nor "professor". See also MOS:PEOPLETITLES People should stand on their accomplishments, not on their letters.
 * I would recommend you ask further questions about this at the wp:Teahouse. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 20:25, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
