Please be aware of COI and POV issues on this page. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:26, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At least the newest COI editor here admits his COI in his very username. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:58, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The site has been updated (by the Ministry's Communication Unit) because the Ministry has changed its name and logo. What is the problem with this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.144.40.150 (talk) 22:44, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We very very very VERY strongly discourage direct edits of articles by persons who work for the subject or otherwise have a conflict of interest. The appropriate thing to do would have been for somebody from the ministry to have posted on the article's talkpage, identifying their COI and explaining (with sources) what changes needed to be made. The ministry itself, as a collective entity, of course cannot have an account here, since only individual human beings can have that privilege; nor can the Communication Unit, for the same reason. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:31, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In terms of the text of the page, what are the precise statements that are challenged? Its a bit hard to resolve this issue, if these are not identified. Mrfebruary (talk) 06:33, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
