The article concerns a major metropolitan police force. While a mention of the existence of a gift shop may be warranted, devoting 15% of the word count to it and adding contact numbers, hours of operation, staff members, descriptions of the facility and trivia is inappropriate and promotional. Expansion of this article should focus on the police force, not the merchandise. Acroterion _(talk) 19:06, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion _(talk) 19:08, 2 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ottawa Police Service

I noticed you are making many edits to this article. Please use the edit summaries to describe what you do in each edit. that will help other editors. For example, in this edit you introduced a reference name "RCMP organisation". This reference is broken at the moment. Could you please tell me where you got it from, so that I may fix it? Thank you, Debresser (talk) 16:09, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've left some notes concerning the article at Talk:Ottawa Police Service. You might want to step back and consider whether some of this is appropriate for an encyclopedia. I appreciate your efforts to expand the article, but it's starting to look like a webpage for the OPS, rather than an encyclopedia article on the OPS. Acroterion _(talk) 19:41, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd strongly suggest that you avoid the use of the first and second persons ("we", "you") in writing for an encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider whether you're putting in too much detail, particularly for the current organizational structure and current events, and ignoring the history of the service. You are clearly associated with the OPS and must be conservative in writing about the OPS. Acroterion _(talk) 20:06, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Ottawa Police Service has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ottawa-ON/Ottawa-Police-Service/156218914400984?ref=ts.
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. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:00, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
