Use of nowiki

edit

Hi there, I just finished cleaning up the formatting at Blue Heron (vocal ensemble), and I noticed that in your recent rewrite of that article, you added a lot of nowiki tags. Those are fine when necessary, but you were using them in an unusual and non-standard way that tells me you're not quite understanding Wikipedia's style conventions on titles. No big deal, I fixed the issues (you can review my edit here), but please do brush up on the Manual of Style if you haven't already (particularly MOS:ITAL and WP:NOWIKI). Other editors can always step in to fix things, but it's best for everybody if you learn the style conventions. If I can help with anything, just let me know.

  Hello, Grant Washington. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Blue Heron (vocal ensemble), you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jmertel23 (talk) 19:31, 7 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
