[edit] January 2008

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

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

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. Fabrictramp (talk) 18:54, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] May 2008

When I made the edit I was not aware of the above warnings etc. The edits are in contravention of WP:COI and WP:NPOV and there was more than one link to the Safestyle site.--Harkey Lodger (talk) 15:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't really explain why you reverted all the edits in their entirety - I'm not sure you really read the changes properly. I have to say that for a site based on freedom of information, it is looking more like a dictatorship.

The above warnings are old news, I'm now trying to work with you: I'll make small, easily-understandable edits for your convenience, so if there's a problem you can then more easily explain what the problem actually is if you decide to revert. Can't say fairer than that... Safestyle (talk) 16:02, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
