Bali Children's Project[edit]

Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia! I made a start on converting Bali Children's Project to the usual Wikipedia style, but it still needs a little work. For example, you should try to present links from other sources that establish the notability of the organization (e.g. from major media outlets, or government organizations).

Since you claim to have a connection with the organization, you might want to familiarise yourself with our policies on conflict of interest and autobiography. One point for you to consider is that the article, to be neutral, will have to cover any significant criticisms or controversies related to this organisation.

Finally, I'm afraid that there seems to be a strong resemblance between the article as you posted it, and some portions of this page, which presents us with a copyright issue. We take copyright very seriously here, and for the protection of the rights of the other publishers, we cannot accept contributions of copyright material. I have no reason to doubt your good faith, but please understand that I cannot readily verify your identity or evaluate any claim you might make to represent this organization. Please see Copyright owners who submitted their own work to Wikipedia, and consider either following its suggestions or rephrasing the text in question.

Have fun and please drop me a line if you need any assistance. Bovlb (talk) 06:43, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid that I've been obliged to cut out most of the material as a copyright violation. Please consider either coming up with a novel phrasing for the information, or establishing your right to release this text into the public domain. Thanks, Bovlb (talk) 14:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Factual Error[edit]

On the opening page of Judith Scott (artist) there is a box with a picture of some artwork. Below, it gives Judith's birthplace as Columbus. This is wrong - it was Cincinnati (see body of article). Can someone please correct this error? Thank you. Dr.John Cooke (talk) 21:58, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Dr.John Cooke. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Judith Scott (artist), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. A "Dr. John Cooke" is married to Joyce Scott, Judith's twin sister and co-founded of ‘The Bali Children’s Project’. Jooojay (talk) 05:15, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
