  Hello Asthmalearning. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 following the 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  4. 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. Acroterion (talk) 21:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to "Partners Asthma Center". Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

  Your addition to "Partners Asthma Center" has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. ROBERTMFROMLI | TK/CN 22:37, 17 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedy deleted because... Partners Asthma Center is a non-profit medical organization by Harvard doctors in hostpitals which includes MGH (massachusetts General Hospital), BWH (Brigh and Womens hospital) --Asthmalearning (talk) 04:45, 18 August 2011 (UTC)Thanks,.Reply

As explained to you earlier, Wikipedia is not your advertising platform. You have, at least on two occassions, copied and pasted copyrighted text from elsewhere to Wikipedia. That too is forbidden. Additionally, you have not provided suitable rationale (such as notability cited to third party reliable sources) to keep it even without the copyright violations. And finally, your userspace is not the place to use for advertising purposes (nowhere on Wikipedia is). Best, ROBERTMFROMLI | TK/CN 04:47, 18 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
