Your edit to Punchdrunk (theatre company) has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

Are you a paid editor with a conflict of interest?
Hello Rickluxford. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Rickluxford. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:51, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm not a paid editor, but the information on this page is now out of date and I have been trying to update it to reflect that. As it was announced in mid June, Punchdrunk and Punchdrunk Enrichment are now two separate companies. They now have separate websites separate, social media accounts and separate mailing lists. Punchdrunk are now based in Woolwich, and Punchdrunk Enrichment are based in Tottenham. Punchdrunk no longer have anything to do with Fallow Cross in Tottenham (hence trying to remove that section). They also trade as Punchdrunk, not Punchdrunk International, so even though they make work in other countries, the Punchdrunk International heading is misleading. They are also not an Arts Council NPO organisation. Rickluxford (talk) 14:33, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


 * So what is your connection then?
 * b.t.w. they are an NPO org according to the Arts Council having received £900,000 of funding. 10mmsocket (talk) 14:48, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm just a fan who closely follows their work. The NPO status dates back to when the whole company operated as a charity, now it is just Enrichment that exists as a charity, separate from Punchdrunk. See the History section of this page: https://www.punchdrunkenrichment.org.uk/about-us/. There are also key people such as their Chief Exec who now runs the company alongside Felix... This is all publicly available on their website. Rickluxford (talk) 14:59, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

I'm new to editing wikipedia. If I am making mistakes and my wiki-etiquette is wrong, that is why. Rickluxford (talk) 15:02, 25 July 2021 (UTC)
