Dear Mr Easton,

thank you for driving our attention to the issues in the article. I have restored an earlier version of it. Since Wikipedia is anonymous, there is no way we can authentify you as being the BBC news anchor, therefore it would be great if you either confirmed your identity by contacting us using our email address info-en@wikimedia.org from an official email address, or contacted us at this address if you have further issues with our content. Thank you very much. -- lucasbfr talk 08:43, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Mark Easton BBC. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Mark Easton, 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. Thank you. Shakehandsman (talk) 05:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
