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:
- editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see
Wikipedia:Spam);
- and you must always:
- 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. -- Herby talk thyme 11:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See
the external links guideline and
spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses
nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.--

Thanks for explaining Herbythyme. I was wondering why the additions were removed. I was simply trying to update the pages so that they contained accurate information of how the broadcasters could be accessed. I saw links to other platforms and added Livestation as an option (for those channels being carried on Livestation only). I thought, at first, that the edit was because I added (free, high-quality live streaming), so I undid two of your edits to remove this (apologies if that's the wrong thing to do). What is the correct way to add the fact that certain channels are available on Livestation in the list where all the other options exist? Livestation ( talk) 14:25, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- The issue you have here is that you fairly obviously have a conflict of interest in adding this link. The policy does not allow you to add links to sites which you have an interest in I'm afraid. If a established user were to add them they would be considered on the merit of the link. Thanks -- Herby talk thyme 14:34, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Ah, okay, I see. When checking the sites of the broadcasters we are carrying on Livestation, I saw links to other platforms that carried the channels and realised that the information on the page was incomplete. That is why I created an account in order to update the page so that it was accurate rather than being short on relevant information. Is the information I posted on the Livestation page in which we link to the broadcasters we are carrying okay? Livestation ( talk) 14:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah - I did look at that but frankly to me it looks ok (but this is a wiki so others may see differently). The link placement bit is less a matter of personal taste and more a matter of policy though. If you want more "qualified" feedback posting on related talk pages here or here would probably be best (or others similar). Thanks -- Herby talk thyme 15:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
