Welcome! edit

Hello, Dennis william nyback, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Oregon Cartoon Institute, 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 another 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 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:

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!

October 2014 edit

  Hello, Dennis william nyback. 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 Draft:Oregon Cartoon Institute , you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

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. Meters (talk) 18:35, 29 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not write an article about yourself, as you apparently are doing at User:Dennis william nyback/sandbox. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. Thank you. Meters (talk) 18:35, 29 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Clinton edit

Thanks for your additions to the Clinton article. Pleasure to 'meet you and thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. I just wanted to confirm something--are Elizabeth and Anne the same individual? I went ahead and changes all appearances (following the first) of Dennis to Nyback and Elizabeth or Anne to Rozier, per Wikipedia's manual of style. Hopefully I can go back and format the references you added soon (but, thank you for including references). I have not checked that the sources you added exist and verify the claims made, but we at Wikipedia like to assume good faith until someone has time to investigate properly. Anyways, thanks again for editing, and you might consider joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Oregon if you are interested in working on other Oregon-related content here at Wikipedia. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:40, 29 January 2015 (UTC)Reply


When I first met Elizabeth Anne Rozier she went by the name Beth. Around 1986 she legally changed her name to Anne Elizabeth Rozier. When I see her I call her Beth. I guess people who have not known her as long as I have call her Anne. She once told me that it is proper for a woman to be mentioned in print twice in their lives: A birth notice and a death notice. I would guess she evolved from that position. I apologize for any confusion.

Why do you write about yourself in the third person? Does it really take you seven months to write the article? When do you expect it to be ready? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:36, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Dear RHaworth, Thanks for asking. About seven months? The writer Henry Roth went sixty years between books. There is a common saying "If I had more time to write it would be a shorter letter." About the only thing I like about Twitter is it encourages brevity. In short: the longer it takes the better it should be. About writing in the third person? One of my writing teachers at the UW told me everyone has a book in them and that if you can write a second you are a writer. I have one unpublished work that is in the first person. Since then I have written mostly in the third. Hemingway said the hardest thing for a writer to master is perspective. Writing in the third person is good for getting a different perspective. That is the long answer. The short answer it wikipedia requires the third person. Lastly, I expect the post to be ready soon. I don't plan making it my life's work. Best Wishes, Dennis

February 2015 edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Draft:Oregon Cartoon Institute, as "minor" only if they are minor edits.

Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Meters (talk) 00:29, 15 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Swanee songs edit

Hello Dennis william nyback,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Swanee songs for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Onel5969 TT me 16:02, 31 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Dennis william nyback, as you may have seen I've removed the text for now, pending receipt of suitable permission. By far the simplest way of arranging that is for a CC BY-SA 3.0 or similar release to be added to the blog page; alternatively, the Wikimedia release generator can be used to generate a release to be sent to permissions -en@wikimedia.org. I'm sorry if this all seems unduly bureaucratic, but we can't make assumptions about the identity of Wikipedia editors. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:27, 31 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please help me with... edit


When I created the James Blue page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Blue I had to delete a redirect from the Donald Westlake page to do it. Every time I would put James Blue in a search it would automatically take me to the Westlake page. That was due to there being a James Blue pseudonym for Westlake on one book he wrote. Because of the redirect beginning I see that the Jame Blue page is now credited to Rich Farmbrough who did nothing on the James Blue page. Thanks

Dennis william nyback (talk) 06:22, 8 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, that's what happened – Rich Farmbrough created the page as a redirect to Donald E. Westlake on 16 February 2017; on 28 May 2019 you over-wrote it with a text about a different person. The contribution of each of you is correctly shown in the page history. You could of course have started a new page at, say, James Blue (film-maker), but you chose not to do that. As long as Rich doesn't mind, that's probably OK. What do you need help with? Well, as the creater of the James Blue page I would like to be listed as such and I would then get notices whenever changes are made to the page.
If Rich is getting those messages it might amuse or annoy him. Thanks, Dennis Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:28, 8 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
When you started the actual page with this edit you did not actually "delete" the page in the sense of removing the page technically and starting afresh. You merely "replaced" the redirect code with your own text. So that's why Rich Farmbrough is shown as the actual creator of the page, because this is determined by page's first revision not by who added the most text . However, the history page and external stats tools like this contain full information about who created/edited the page and many other details. – Ammarpad (talk) 16:34, 8 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the replies. If I had known I needed to do something differently, I would have. What is amusing is Rich created no pages. What he did was add one line, or possibly more, to the Donald Westlake page by adding info that Westlake had on one time used the name James Blue as a pseudonym. I am still puzzled as to why when originally searching for James Blue Wikipedia led me directly to the Westlake page and did not give me other options. Somewhat piquant is I was once friends with Donald Westlake when I had my bookstore Spade & Archer in Seattle and I would hang out with him at Bouchercon events. I am sure he would laugh out loud about this, or possibly work it into a Dortmunder book He as a very congenial guy and I miss him. Thanks, Dennis

Really there is no "credit" for creating a page (except in broad brush statistics) in terms of being the first contributor. Look for example at this version of United States Air Force, my favorite stub. Nice to see the quality article you have created here. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 21:18, 9 June 2019 (UTC).Reply

2nd COI comment edit

  Hello, Dennis william nyback. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Kingdome, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • 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 WP:Spam);
  • 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Justlettersandnumbers, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. You removed over 161,331 bytes of content from another editor's user talk page. Doing so is against WP:OWNTALK, WP:NOBAN, and WP:TPO. The basic rule is to not edit or delete others' posts without their permission. I removed your last post on Justlettersandnumbers talk page by mistake but restored it and added a signature since it was unsigned. Shearonink (talk) 09:08, 28 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Swanee songs edit

 

The article Swanee songs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Ineptly duplicative of Old Folks at Home; does not make sense as a redirect to that page.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Oregon Cartoon Institute, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Anne Richardson. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Anne Elizabeth Richardson moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, Anne Elizabeth Richardson, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) In addition, there appears to be a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. 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, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 20:39, 3 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your draft article, Draft:Anne Elizabeth Richardson edit

 

Hello, Dennis william nyback. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Anne Elizabeth Richardson".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. plicit 11:42, 14 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
