Potential conflict of interest

Hi, thank you for creating Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine. As your user page suggests that you have a connection with the institute, please can you review Wikipedia's guidance on conflict of interest (COI) and paid editing. I have added a standard disclosure of a conflict of interest to the article talk page. The guidance strongly recommends that you submit articles where you have a COI through Wikipedia:Articles for Creation rather than publishing the article yourself.

Thanks for raising this. I don’t think I have a significant conflict of interest here. I have not been paid to set the page up and my research is funded through a fellowship from the MRC rather than the institute. I set the page up because I think it is a significant omission from Wikipedia - most other institutes of a similar size have a page. Jojdavies (talk) 22:01, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Jojdavies, in the next iteration of the piece you titled it MRC Weatherall Institute... and you stated on my talk page that you have permission to use the Institute's text. To an outsider that suggests a closeness which is a conflict of interest whether paid or not. Just my 2¢. Cabayi (talk) 11:12, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

About Draft:MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Jojdavies, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Draft:MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. All other images must be made available under a free and open license that allows commercial and derivative reuse to be used on Wikipedia.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 07:35, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

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 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.
