User talk:Riqhteousness

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore, which 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
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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!

 * Hi, I like to inform you that that is not the way wikipedia cites its references. Also, if you are working with MINDS, please cease editing their article as it violates Wikipedia guideline. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 07:47, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Edit reverted
Hello, I'm Justyouraveragelechuga. I noticed that you recently removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * Hi Riqhteousness: The edit Justyouraveragelechuga reverted kept most of a slab of text but didn't keep the footnotes, just the numbers; you appear to have copied and pasted the publicly viewable text rather than edit it at the editing level. It can be seen in this view. Your earlier edit, reverted by someone else as promotional, inserted a lot of unreferenced and poorly formatted text (look at its appearance on the left in this link of its being reverted; things like small dots followed by tabs); I suspect you copied it from the MOVE website or some other text source, which is also a problem (of copyright). As Justyouraveragelechuga notes, you should also give an edit summary to indicate what you were trying to achieve, if only so that people can help you with things like formatting. But they didn't give an edit summary for their revert either, as it happens.
 * You may have a conflict of interest with the organisation—even though it's a welfare organization, this still means you are discouraged from directly editing the article, and if you do, you must be extra careful to make your edits neutral. It's extremely hard to write drily and encyclopedically about something in which one is personally involved, which is why editors with a conflict of interest are very strongly encouraged to edit only the talk page for the article. (If you are actually employed by MIND, you need to state that on your user page or at the top of this page, and you are required to make suggestions on teh talk page rather than editing the article directly.) It may help if you note that Wikipedia is not a directory site where organisations themselves shape their entries, but a reference work, and pages on Wikipedia are also a lot briefer and less detailed than organisations' own websites. Wikipedia pages provide a link to the organisation's own website for those who want more information.
 * We try to base everything on Wikipedia on independent reliable sources, and to provide references to these sources, so that the reader can check accuracy as well as read more. Where you may be able to help is finding more recent sources; but they shouldn't just be the organisation's own website pages or press releases. Can you cite any newspaper coverage of opening new sites or offering new services? That's the kind of thing that helps to improve a page. But please avoid removing sourced content; if it's outdated, it's better to condense the information a bit and add the update with an additional reference.
 * I hope these hints help. You'll find more information on the way we do things linked in the Welcome template that Justanothersgwikieditor put at the top of this page; there's also a link there to Questions, which lists places to get information and to ask for assistance.

 * Hi Riqhteousness, as explained by Yngvadottir above, we will be more than happy to guide you along on the editing process but communication is key to this. Thanks. Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 07:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
