User talk:JennyCockell
April 2017[edit]
Hello, JennyCockell. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Jenny Cockell, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. RivertorchFIREWATER 06:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
May 2017[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Jenny Cockell, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 07:11, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't know how to reply to the message so it was a mistake. What did I accidentally delete? Please let me apologise to the person.
Strikethrough feature[edit]
Hi JennyCockell. I wanted to let you know about a feature that's available to indicate that something you write on a talk page no longer applies. By placing <s> and </s>, respectively, before and after part or all of a comment, it will "cross out" the text. For instance, you can change "I don't understand" to "I don't understand" or just strike through the whole thing: "I don't understand. The reason to use this feature, instead of simply removing one's own comment, is to avoid creating confusing threads with replies to comments that are no longer there, which could be the case here, where a user now appears to be responding to a non-existent comment.
