Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Youth Time has been reverted.
Your edit here to Youth Time was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBIlH25ElXE) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Ytprograms. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Youth Time, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 22:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Please stop adding promotional non-neutral content about your organization's mission, beliefs and objectives. See Wikipedia's "conflict of interest" guideline at WP:COI for more information. Youth Time is supposed to be an encyclopedic article based on independent third-party sources, not a venue for PR activities and self-presentation. Any kind of promotional activity on Wikipedia is prohibited. GermanJoe (talk) 10:43, 22 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Hi

hi Ytprograms. So you are having a rough start here. You should still have access to your Talk page, so you should be able to reply to me. Let me know if you want to create a new username or rename this account. Doesn't matter which. Jytdog (talk) 02:13, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

{unblock|reason=I violated the policy by referring to the organization's website, without being aware of the policy.

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia - let's talk

edit

Hi BojdufaI work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, which is what called my attention to the Youth Time article. Your edits to date are all about Youth Time and your former usernames implies that you are part of the organization. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest;; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please confirm that you work for Youth Time? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 16:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

You haven't responded here. Please respond. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:56, 24 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hello Jytdog. Thank you for your message. Frankly, I am very upset and disappointed about these recent events with the article. All I did was update it's manifesto, since I noticed that it had changed and added a section that describes the magazine. All of the information is relevant to the article and in no way is promotional. However, due to arrogance of some users now we are in a mess of accusations and conflicts. I am not an experienced user, so when I noticed that someone undid my edits offering no explanation I did the same thing. Now, it is no longer an article. Look at the grammar, look at the references, look at the irrelevant information. Where is the evidence of funding for the organization, why these authors are so eager to insert names of individuals, why they are undoing every change I make, as simple as changing "The Youth Time International Movement is an international NGO was founded in Prague" to "Youth Time International Movement is an international NGO based in Prague", which makes sense grammatically, doesn't break any copyright and is in no way promotional. I suggest restoring the article to its original state, when it was first created. Then users can add sections to it with titles such as "criticism", "reception" etc. At this point, it is shameful how more experienced wiki users can ignore contributions of other people, by undoing, blocking, accusing, etc. I do not know how to properly appeal and get attention of administrators and moderators. Every single one of these "authors" provides no evidence and makes no contribution to the article, but rather engages in some battle to prove who knows more about wiki policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bojdufa (talkcontribs) 09:15, 25 February 2016‎ (UTC) Reply
I hear that you are upset with the article content, but please hear me - you have been indefinitely blocked from using Wikipedia because of your behavior. Your behavior. You violated the SOCK policy first and foremost, by creating multiple accounts and using them. You edit-warred in violation of the WP:3RR policy. You created a duplicate article in violation of the WP:NOTABILITY policy. Overall in what you have done, you have not given any consideration to the mission, policies, and guidelines of Wikipedia - you have been here to promote YT. We call that being "not here to build an encyclopedia". You need to address those things, or we have nothing to talk about. Jytdog (talk) 16:31, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
Pretty much what Jytdog has told you, but I want to add that you are not being honest here about your changes to the article, just as you have not been honest about editing under multiple accounts. Leaving aside the complete inappropriateness of the "manifesto", you did not simply add it to the article. Nor did you simply correct the grammar. You repeatedly removed any mention of the very well-known person who is funding your organization. Not once but six times, followed by completely blanking the article twice. Instead of engaging in dialogue with the other editors on the talk page, you refused to answer why you want to eliminate any mention of YT's relationship to WPF and its founder, despite this being sourced to multiple publications. Instead you attacked the other editors, and continue to do so here. I'm going ask the blocking admin to leave a formal block notice here which will have information about how to appeal a block. But if you continue in this dishonest and aggressive vein, I very much doubt you'll be unblocked. Voceditenore (talk) 17:38, 25 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
