  Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (  or  ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 15:30, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Editing with a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Ayla2014. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Neta Hebrew, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • 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.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

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

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

In supplement to our standard advisory about editing with a conflict of interest, let me add the following:
Part of the problem here is that the text to which you have been repeatedly reverting has an unacceptably promotional tone, and reads like marketing material for the NETA program. Wikipedia policy says, "Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing." Please see WP:NOTADVERTISING for more on this point. The goal here is to produce articles that cover notable subjects with a neutral point of view.
In this case, the repeated deletion of the article's reference to the Adi Raz study, which appears to be a legitimate independent review of the curriculum, raises concerns. In general, this article would benefit from additional independent reliable sources about NETA. I've added one such reference, a lengthy 2005 article about the program from The Jewish Week. More sources like that would really improve the article.
I hope this explanation is helpful. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:29, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not assume ownership of articles. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you.

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:09, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
