User talk:Sageblue22

Hello, Sageblue22, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Paul Warner (director), which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Paul Warner (director) may have broken the syntax by modifying 3 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Hello, Sageblue22. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Paul Warner (director), you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Sageblue22! If you don't mind, I will reply to your email here, so that anything I write is open to scrutiny by other editors.

• First, about the Paul Warner (director) page: it hasn't actually disappeared, it has just been hidden from view until the question of whether parts of it were copied from elsewhere on the internet has been resolved. That usually takes a week or two. That time can sometimes be shortened, for example by donating (or arranging for donation of) the material in question to Wikipedia; there are links to instructions for that in the Copyright problem section above. However, in most cases, that sort of material anyway needs to be fundamentally re-written to be considered suitable for inclusion here, so there is perhaps not much to be gained.
• Secondly, you have told me something that makes me think that you may have what we call a conflict of interest at the Paul Warner page, which means essentially that you may be too close to the topic of the article to be able to maintain a neutral point of view when editing it. You can, if you wish, mention that possible connection here, but you are under no obligation whatsoever to do so; it's entirely up to you. But, whether you choose to or not, you should be aware that editors with a conflict of interest are strongly advised not to edit articles with which they have a close connection. Instead, they are advised to make suggestions for improvements on the talk-page of the article, in this case Talk:Paul Warner (director).

I'm sorry to bombard you with rules and stuff. If you have questions or would like to ask advice, please feel free to attract my attention on any talk-page, including this one, by writing {{u|Justlettersandnumbers}} (exactly like that, with the curly brackets). I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:11, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Paul Warner (director) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:16, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! This is to ask you to please take seriously the various warnings higher up this page; ignoring them can eventually lead to some quite undesirable consequences. You should at this point almost certainly refrain from editing Paul Warner (director), and either make suggestions on the talk-page, or wait until someone completely independent of the subject decides to write about him – which, sooner or later, they inevitably will. One other thing: I notice that there's a new account active on that page; just in case you aren't aware of it, using more than one account here is strongly discouraged in most circumstances. That's not an accusation or allegation of any kind, just a head's-up; there's no need to reply to it. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:28, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Strawhatstheatre. Thank you.
