User talk:Greenwebpress
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Greenwebpress, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Eamon Ryan
[edit]Hi, Please stop removing referenced material like this [1] from Eamon Ryan's article. If you are in any way connected to Eamon Ryan or the Green Party, you may not edit the article per WP:COI. Snappy (talk) 18:35, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Snappy,
- I was removing some incorrect material and updating the page. None of my additions were incorrect. For purposes of honesty, I am related to the Green Party, but I hardly see how this precludes me from ensuring that a page is factually accurate.
- Examples:
- Early & Personal Life - I have not removed mention of his unemployment, I have referenced and linked the positions where he was employed. Wikipedia says he was married in 1996, this is incorrect, it was 1998, and I do not see how there can be an objection to saying that he has 4 children.
- Political Career - Here I have restructured the first 3 lines, adding the Dublin Cycling Campaign, but as it is not strictly a political role I won't object to having it removed. I do feel that my edited version is clearer, however.
- Record in Office - My addition here is factually accurate, as he was a member of cabinet during negotiations, and the ratification of the deal by the Greens is referenced at the end, http://www.rte.ie/news/2009/1010/122796-greens/
- 2011 general election and Green Party leadership - Here I have added a line which I do not see cause for removing about the transition to the Lab-FG government. I removed the 2028 detail of his pension entitlements, but it is fair if you want to keep it in.
- North Seas Offshore Grid Initiative - Why would you remove this material? It is an update on his most recent work and is referenced.
- On the whole, you will see that I have added far more than I have deleted and I think that removing all of my edits without consideration is grossly unfair.

- As I suspected you are connected to the Green Party, which does preclude from editing the article per WP:COI. If however, you persist in editing then add reliably referenced material but stop removing referenced material like the BBC reference for cannabis use. I moved your response so the conversation is in one place, you can reply here I will watch this page. As a newbie, you are advised to read Wikipedia:Five pillars Snappy (talk) 20:02, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
