International Socialist Alternative moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, International Socialist Alternative, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. buidhe 20:21, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Golightlys. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Committee for a Workers' International, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the Edit Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I know you've already disclosed you're a member of the group, but you really shouldn't be editing the article to do with it (especially details that could be considered contested). If you wish to discuss changes to the lead I would recommend bringing it up at the article's talk page. Rambling Rambler (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Fair enough, wasn't my intention to do more than copy edit but if that edit was at all controversial then you are correct to revert and admonish me! Golightlys (talk) 15:57, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Golightlys it wasn't intended in the tone of an admonishment, I just thought it best to raise as I hadn't seen it in your talk page history and thought best to post it just as a point of information in case you weren't aware. Rambling Rambler (talk) 16:17, 27 August 2025 (UTC)
- Having reflected, it 100% certainly should have been an Edit Request and I should NOT have made the edit as such (I know, no huge deal, editors scrutinising eachother is what we're here for!)
- I'm sure you didn't admonish me, I just meant that you would be right to haha Golightlys (talk) 23:41, 6 September 2025 (UTC)
