This is the only warning you will receive. Your recent insertion of spam, commercial content, and/or links is prohibited under policy. Any further spamming may result in your account and/or your IP address being blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Please stop. If you continue to use Wikipedia to advertise you will be blocked from editing.
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

CIPD

[edit]

I left a message on Talk:Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development regarding the recent edits of this article relating to the references. The documents I gather are some sort of internal newsletter at the CIPD and are not available to the general public nor to members to view. Unless you can find suitable citations for these 'facts' about the CIPD which can be accessed by readers these facts will not be verifiable and will under WP Policy need to be removed asap. I now see you have added several specific references to different pages of the CIPD website. This is not necessary and will be perceived as spamming given the nature of these sites. The only required link is to the CIPD main page. Given the fate of the previous article I urge you to read the guidance on constructing, editing verifying content and linking to external sites which WP help pages which can be accessed from here. My main concern is this article may go the same way as the last one if the style does not get adapted Contact me if you need some help Tmol42 (talk) 18:30, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.cipd.co.uk/about. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Retrench

[edit]

I would suggest a complete rewrite of Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. Think of a brief thumbnail description of what it is you might give at a party where you don't want to bore the other person. Hit the high points. Write it entirely in your own words. Use prose rather than bullet points. See Wikipedia:Layout. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 11:38, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you mean as I thought encylopedic entries are supposed to be factual and interesting rather than purely entertaining. This is a resource rather than a party piece. Also, bullet points help to break up the text so that it's easier to read on a webpage. I've never heard of anyone recommending chunks of prose over bullet points on webpages before.
