Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (organizations and companies) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. JohnCD (talk) 15:43, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your group, your client, your boss or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service or business directory and is not for promotion or advocacy of any kind. Please read FAQ/Organizations before you write about your own product or organization.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Conflict of Interest Guideline
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 or creating 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; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. JohnCD (talk) 15:43, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Your edits
I am not happy about what you are doing, which I feel is contrary to Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest and advocacy. I have raised the question at the Conflict of Interest noticeboard here: you may like to take part in the discussion. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:48, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I am just trying to update a category (following things like the Greenpeace category). I do understand the regulations, and am not trying to self-promote. I just wanted to update the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition's page and categories. I will halt if you believe otherwise. Timystic (talk) 15:47, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
