Hello, I'm Wiiformii. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Benefis Health System seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Wiiformii (talk) 22:12, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - while I appreciate you looking out that the articles are neutral, the information that was on the page was woefully out of date. If someone wants to add updated information that's fine, but it should be more recent than 10+ years ago. Taaldinger (talk) 22:28, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, Wiiformii is correct. "Out of date" is really nonsense here--you removed verified information about the history and the economic impact of the subject. This is not the Yellow Pages; verified facts about the background of the organization don't become "outdated", and your edits are clearly promotional, or at least non-neutral and unencyclopedic. If you want to write material like "An era of growth begins", you can do that elsewhere, but not here. So now I have no reason whatsoever to think that you don't have a conflict of interest, and you really have a choice. Either you declare that, properly, and edit neutrally and within our guidelines, or you continue without explaining what you are doing, removing verified information, and you will be blocked. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 22:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Taaldinger, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Benefis Health System, which 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 another 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 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Benefis Health System. Your edits continue to appear to constitute vandalism and have been automatically reverted.

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
ClueBot NG makes very few mistakes, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been considered as unconstructive, please read about it, report it here, remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
If you need help, please see the Introduction to Wikipedia, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, place {{Help me}} on your talk page and someone will drop by to help.
