User talk:LighthouseGuild

Welcome!

Hello, LighthouseGuild, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Introduction and Getting started
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Note: I understand you're new to Wikipedia, and appear to be a single-purpose account devoted to the article Lighthouse Guild, at which you appear to be based — judging not only by your editing name but by such sentences as "Our store offers products that make day-to-day life easier for people with vision loss" (a violation of Wikipedia guidelines regarding advertising and promotion).

I'm sure it was inadvertent, but many of your edits have violated policies and guidelines regarding conflict-of-interest, tone and more. I'm afraid it's unacceptable to use promotional language such as "helping people ... lead productive, dignified and fulfilling lives." Your first round of edits also violated copyright issues by listing promotional language directly from the subject's website. You also blanked out a reliably sourced section involving the organization's finances, well-cited to The New York Times, and that is quite unacceptable.

Judging from this behavior, it seems ill-advised that you should be editing this article about your own organization, barring specific factual inaccuracies which you can cite with a footnote. I would also note that, per WP:BRD, after you're reverted you go to the article's talk page and try to achieve consensus with other editors about your proposed edits.

I would hope that someone representing an august organization such as Lighthouse will follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines and not edit-war. If I can answer questions or be of help, just contact me on my talk page. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:42, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Warning

You were politely asked above not to make wholesale edits that remove cited content, create a PR gloss, or otherwise involve promotional content, including inserting verbatim, copyrighted promotional material, at Lighthouse Guild. You have continued to do so, and you have also refused to discuss the issue on the article's talk page, in violation of WP:BRD.

If you continue to edit-war over promotional edits, I will request admin intervention and you may be blocked or banned from editing this article. If you are ready to discuss your issues on the talk page please do so at Talk:Lighthouse Guild, and please stop attempting to promote your organization using Wikipedia. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:31, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
