Anna Fleischle

Hi! I see that your only edits here relate to Anna Fleischle. Just so that you know: if you are personally or professionally connected to the subject of that article, you have what we call a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., Talk:Anna Fleischle). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice at the head of that page. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted. While Wikipedia welcomes all good-faith contributions, it does not allow promotion of any kind.

Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact.

You've twice removed the wikilink from theatre designer. Is there any particular reason for that? Do you not think that she is a theatre designer? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:50, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

Thanks for contacting me. Could you explain if you are a regular user or do you work for wikipedia? Have you been making the recent edits to the page? Some of the links a to other pages have been remove whilst some have not been. Is there a reason for this? I did take the link out for theatre designer as that page in my opinion does not describe a theatre designer and is very random in its explanations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L1R5M1 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi! Like pretty much everyone else here, I'm a volunteer editor (employees of the foundation do occasionally edit here; they have "(WMF)" on the end of their usernames). You can see who has made changes to a page by looking at the page history (click the "View history" link next to "Edit" at upper right). Yes, I made some changes to the page. Among other things, I removed a lot of superfluous wiki-links to other pages because in general we link once, and once only, to each page (at the first mention, obviously). Theatre designer should be linked because people might not know what that is, or call it by a different name in their part of the world; if you think that article is bad, why not improve it? Or start a new page on theatre design? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:47, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the explanations. I will work on a new theatre designer page. Am I free to unlink this from the redirect Once the page has relevant information?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by L1R5M1 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 21 December 2015 (UTC

You can take over a redirect and turn it into a new page at any time – just delete the content that's there, line up your sources, and start writing! A bit of care may be needed to check that people aren't getting sent to the wrong page; you can use "What links here" (under Tools on the left) to see what is linked to the redirect page.

By the way, why do you keep adding "Theatre" after "Royal Court"? Of course that's what it is, but everybody calls it the Royal Court, tout court, when talking about it, as you surely know. As a general hint, try to avoid edit-warring: if you've made an edit and it is reverted, your next step is to go to the talk-page and start a discussion, not to make the same edit again. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:25, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

I am new to editing and at first I thought someone might be being destructive for some reason. Its just a case of experience. There was a mistake you made with DV8 which made me think you know less than you obviously do about the subject. The Royal Court does actually call itself the royal court theatre. I was also looking for consistency as it was referred to in other places as theatre. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L1R5M1 (talk • contribs) 00:36, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I made several corrections to phrasing you changed which were misleading. In a couple of paragraphs you made it look as if an award was personal when they were made to the production in general. — Preceding unsigned comment added by L1R5M1 (talk • contribs) 11:38, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest in WIkipedia

Hi L1R5M1. Like JustLettersAndNumbers I am a volunteer here. I work on conflict of interest issues quite a bit. While JLAN provided you notice of our COI guideline, the two of you didn't actually discuss that.

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Anna Fleischle? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, with please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. You can reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 16:55, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Also - a note about working in Wikipedia... In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting. When you reply to someone, you put a colon ":" in front of your comment, and the WP software converts that into an indent; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons "::" which the WP software converts into two indents, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this "{{od}}" in front of your comment. This also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread. I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~~~~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages. I also added our "welcome" message to the top of this page which explains more about editing in WIkipedia.

But please do respond to my question above. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:58, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
