Recent Australian Crawl and Simon Binks edits
Thank you for your recent edits at Australian Crawl and at Simon Binks both as User:124.181.173.130 and User:Simonjbinks.

Your edits are highly informative and give additional background for the articles, however, Wikipedia requires articles to be written in a particular style. See Manual of Style for example. When the article is about oneself e.g. Simon Binks or one's business/personal interests e.g. Australian Crawl then your editing may not show a Neutral Point of View and must be seen to have Verifiability. In such cases an independent reference is needed and you should Cite your sources. To reduce the possibility of Conflict of interest in such cases it is advisable to have your edits subject to modification or collaboration with an existing editor. In the case of Australian music articles such editors can be found at Wikiproject Australian Music members.

Your recent edits may be challenged, changed by subsequent editors or reverted to previous edits unless they are written according to the guidelines indicated.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 05:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have reverted the recent edit to Australian Crawl by User:124.181.173.130 (unidentified IP address, claims to be "SB" or Simon Binks). Same claim made by User:124.180.152.104 and User:Simonjbinks when editing Simon Binks. The statements at Australian Crawl appear to be a personal account of the situation but are not referenced and I believe they are not Neutral Point of View: the User may believe them to be true (as stated) but they have not been Verified by independent sources.


 * Similar (and additional) edits have been made at Simon Binks, prior to reverting those I request the User(s) indicated to provide references for those recent edits. Unless someone else reverts them I intend to remove them from Simon Binks in on one week from today.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
I have placed a Conflict of interest template on the Simon Binks article and here, I believe recent edits by User 124.176.227.115 are also by Simonjbinks: uses the same "SB" by-line. These edits indicate that the User is due to "Tell-all" on the court case discussed in Simon Binks, so far no references have been given for any of the existing information supplied by Simonjbinks or the unidentified IPs listed above.

I have been a recent contributor to Simon Binks and the associated Australian Crawl article. Whilst errors may occur in any Wikipedia article, my edits have been made in good faith, I have attempted to present the information in a Neutral Point of View and have based my edits on the references I supplied.

I still intend to revert much of the information supplied by Simonjbinks et al unless the edits can be supported by verifiable references. I will start these reverts tomorrow (it will then be over one week since notice above was placed here, at User talk:Simonjbinks]]).

Once again I encourage Simonjbinks to work with editors at Wikiproject Australian Music members to reduce risk of Conflict of interest.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I have edited the article as indicated above, deleting considerable material supplied by "SB" see: Simonjbinks contribs which I believe to be same User as contribs by User 124.176.227.115, User 124.180.152.104, User 124.181.173.130 and User 124.180.206.210. If I have incorrectly identified any of these I apologise sincerely. A similar note has been placed at Talk:Simon Binks.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Simon Binks

 * 1) [[Image:Information.svg|25px]] Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. -- Longhair\talk 05:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. -- Longhair\talk 05:45, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
