September 2009[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. 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 before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 20:35, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Hi Mr Ollie - I am new to this but made some changes to the working capital descriptions. Is this a subject you know a lot about? I am really surprised that you reversed the changes and I would love to know your rationale because, on my part, it's feeling like a wasted evening! Do I have any right of appeal over what you have done? Joanna Smith (talk) 20:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty simple - please don't cite articles you have written on other web sites or content related to or produced by Financial Training Associates Ltd. It should be simple for a knowledgeable person to locate independent sources for this information, I suggest you do that. - MrOllie (talk) 21:07, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK - so it's the links I put on that are causing you the problem, not the extra material I added. Correct? Assuming "yes" can you please tell me how I put the edits I made back again? (PS - where I am supposed to put these comments - on my talk page or on yours?)Joanna Smith (talk) 21:10, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr Ollie - could you please tell me how I can put the edits I made last night back? I understand it was the links causing you the problem not the actual information. I would like that stuff back because I really felt it was an improvement.

See Help:Page_history. - MrOllie (talk) 19:25, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flippin' heck that looks complicated! But it sounds like there is away to reinstate the changes (if I follow it all through - when there is more time). Correct? Joanna Smith (talk) 20:52, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
