Hello, I'm Sangsangaplaz. I noticed that you recently removed content from Freightliner Group without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hello,

I am Vice President of Communications for Genesee & Wyoming and was asked to update the Freightliner Group page to reflect changes in Australia and overall ownership.

Genesee & Wyoming sold all its interests in Australia: https://www.trains.com/trn/news-reviews/news-wire/02-gw-to-sell-stake-in-australian-operations-as-it-goes-private/

And Freightliner Group has been separated from Genesee & Wyoming and now operates as a sister company under Brookfield: https://www.railwayherald.com/uknews/freightliner-to-be-split-from-genesee-wyoming 144.121.249.10 (talk) 15:23, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

See the notice, below. Because you are being paid for your contributions and did not disclose this, you are in violation of the terms of use of this website. Your edits have therefore been removed. Once you have made the required disclosure you are permitted to edit but are strongly recommended to make proposed changes to the Talk page, not to the article itself, due to the potential conflict of interest.

Ok, can you please make the changes that I had made to the article, then? Thanks! 144.121.249.10 (talk) 15:27, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 144.121.249.10. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Genesee & Wyoming and Freightliner Group, 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 COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting 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. Thank you. MarcGarver (talk) 15:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
