Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to MigrationWatch UK appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Mighty Antar (talk) 17:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest notice[edit]

Thank you for joining the discussion at the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard and explaining the reasoning for your edits. This action helps make Wikipedia a more rational place. Since you've joined the discussion, but still appear to be a single-purpose editor, it is normal for me to point you to the usual COI warning. It explains how to stay out of trouble if you are affiliated or are a supporter of an organization. Please contact me directly if you have any questions.


If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. EdJohnston (talk) 18:07, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Moonshineblue. I'd suggest that you ignore the above warning, but wait to restore your version until others have chimed in on the Talk page. EdJohnston (talk) 17:18, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. It looks a good and balanced cleanup, and ClueBot mistook the removal of material for vandalism. I've reverted the ClueBot edit, and reported it as a false positive. Gordonofcartoon (talk) 17:54, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

UK Web Archive link[edit]

Hi. I didn't see the point of this edit so have reverted it. The link is already provided in a reference in exactly the same place that you added it. Perhaps you were confused because it was in a citation template? Cordless Larry (talk) 11:42, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Green[edit]

Hi. Regarding your recent edits to Andrew Green (diplomat)‎, I wanted to point out that the best place for material on MigrationWatch UK is the article on the organisation, not the article on Green. I suggest that if you want to add quotes about the organisation, you add them there instead. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:51, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Funny. The only reason I put a clarification of the Bercow legal position on this site today is because someone had put the usual anti-Green/MW piece on. Now they have been caught out by my clarification you have deliberately removed the lot. Typical left-wing move.Moonshineblue (talk) 16:38, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because it is covered at MigrationWatch UK. It's about the organisation, not about Andrew Green as a man, so that's the best place for it. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:15, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 6[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andrew Green, Baron Green of Deddington, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Haileybury. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

The link to Haileybury was on the site when I first came to it yesterday so whoever did the first 'draft' of Lord Green's CV probably put the school and link in.

It should also be noted that Green should only be referred to as 'Lord' and not Baron. Although people who are elevated to the peerage as 'Baron', in referring to them only Earls and Dukes are addressed as Barons. All other males are addressed as Lords. Hence the title of the Wiki page should probably be changed to Lord Green of Deddington KCMG Moonshineblue (talk) 15:01, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
