This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing!

Note

[edit]

Hi there... I notice you have made significant changes to a number of articles relating to the RAD. I should warn you that many of the changes you have made are in violation of Wikipedia's neutrality policy and have clearly been done with the intention of promoting the RAD, rather than providing an impartial, encyclopaedic account of the organisation. I have contributed extensively to a number of these articles, carefully editing the text to meet wikipedia guidelines, much of which you have now replaced with text that is overly promotional in tone. In future, when making edits, you should not replace or remove large blocks of correctly written and referenced text without good reason, and then you should always get consensus from other people who have contributed to the article before doing so. If you want to discuss this, don't hesitate to get in touch. Thanks Crazy-dancing (talk) 16:46, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JessicaWrad. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Royal Academy of Dance, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • 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.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:13, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "JessicaWrad", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:13, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

RAD

[edit]

Hi there, don't worry about your changes, it takes time to get used to Wikipedia. I only messaged you because, on reading your edits I assumed you were perhaps an RAD employee as the tone of your contributions suggests that. Other Wikipedia users will come to the same conclusion and I wouldn't want the whole article ripping to pieces as a result. I've put a lot of work in to take the RAD article from a couple of paragraphs to what it is now, so we need to work together to improve it. Crazy-dancing (talk) 09:10, 19 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
