I can find no publicly available evidence, i.e. not behind a paywall, for Ibbett's DoB, though I have access to his birth certificate. I can find no reliable evidence of Ibbett's move to Hull, other than the affiliation shown on published papers. Should I therefore remove the DoB and any reference to the University of Hull? Or just abandon the article? Eqanius (talk) 22:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Eqanius. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Roland Ibbett, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, 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 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:27, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

This article was mostly written about two years ago by a former colleague of mine from some 15 years ago. His family circumstances have caused him to withdraw from computing activity so I submitted it essentially on his behalf. However, I am too close to the subject according to the rules and therefore wish to withdraw the article. Eqanius (talk) 19:36, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay, I understand; thank you.

Just to clarify, you don't need to abandon this draft, you can still continue to develop it, you just need to disclose your conflict of interest as explained above (see the 3rd bullet point 'disclose'). But either way, it is up to you of course.

Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:47, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Roland Ibbett

Hello, Eqanius. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Roland Ibbett".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When 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.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Dear Liz, thank you for your message. In light of the criticisms of my draft by Greenman, whose exacting requirements are beyond what I am able to satisfy, I decided to abandon my attempt to create the page, despite the encouragement from DoubleGrazing. Maybe one day someone else might want to create an entry for Roland Ibbett but perhaps he is not worthy of an entry on Wikipedia. C'est la vie. Eqanius (talk) 19:17, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
