Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Modern Whig Party of Florida has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/floridawhigparty). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:38, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia.

Florida Whig Party

Local political party chapters have not historically survived deletion discussions. You can make your edits in the article about the main national party. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:23, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Florida Whig Party, 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:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia: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. Thank you.

You appear to be a representative of the party. Please see WP:OWN. You do not own an article about your organization. Wikipedia has its rules and regulations. We do not need permission from representatives of the party to edit the party article. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:25, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Information was being posted that was incorrect as the link to this site http://whatever.losito.net/2007/03/26/whig-party was posted when I was trying to edit to correct the information. As discussed with Blanchardb on his talk page, I believe we have come to a resolve. Thank You.Annarogoski (talk) 00:28, 31 May 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Comments on Florida Whig Party

I apologize for the confusion on the article name. When I saw the duplicates, I tried to remedy the sitution via a redirect. I goofed and redirected to the incorrect name, but quickly realized my mistake and attempted to rectify it. Again, I apologize for helping to create confusion on that matter. I'm referring to the redirect to the Modern Whig Party of Florida name, NOT to the Modern Whig Party article, which was done by another editor on different grounds.

I'm in agreement with Blanchardb and Who then was a gentleman? on the promotional nature of the edits, and on the concerns about conflict of interest. The party platform material appeared to have been copied directly from your organization's website (a big no-no on WP), and did not fit the article, and I believe it was rightly removed. If you are with the organization there absolutely is a conflict of interest under WP:COI. Jo7hs2 (talk) 23:42, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is it normal for things to be deleted in the middle of being edited? I wasnt able to even finish what I was doing!

So, If I was a republican, I cant edit their information?

But as a Florida Whig , I can edit the Repulicans site?

Please read WP:COI. It clearly explains Wikipedia's policy on conflicts of interest, and the level of caution required when editing articles about an organization your are part of. And no, a mere member of the party would not have a conflict of interest, however you stated on Blanchard's talk page that you are more than just a member. Jo7hs2 (talk) 00:07, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I read the COI... "which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia", which is what I was trying to do!Annarogoski (talk) 00:12, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not in a conflict of interest?

Then could you please explain this? -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:00, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking of the Florida Whig Party Platform? Thats the official platform of the Florida Whig Party. Not an opinion. I guess I should have used IDEOLOGY like the republicans do http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States) Annarogoski (talk) 00:09, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm talking about the words, "is proud to announce." That is, with no regard whatsoever to the rest of the sentence. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 00:11, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and that I understand as I posted on your talk page.Annarogoski (talk) 00:13, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My concerns about Conflict of Interest relate to this edit. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 00:50, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That edit was deeply concerning to me as well. It suggested that you felt a sense of ownership towards the article, the hallmark of a conflict of interest going beyond a mere conflict and presenting an issue. Jo7hs2 (talk) 00:55, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Party Platform on Florida Whig Party

I linked directly to the party platform on the organization's website, so there should be no need to have the entire platform directly in the article. A brief summary might be relevant, as would a brief history, but without proper references that discuss the current party, that is going to be somewhat difficult. I saw some of the sources you posted on Blachardb's talk page, and they would be useful for sourcing information about the former Whig party, but they wouldn't be all that useful for the resurrected party. Do you know of any local newspaper articles that you can direct me to? One way editors who have conflicts of interest can avoid issues is to post content to the talk page, and have other editors work with it. If you could provide some local newspaper sources confirming the party's activities and Mr. McKain's candidacy, that would be wonderful! Jo7hs2 (talk) 00:53, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
