Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, ScribeSyndicate. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article User:ScribeSyndicate/sandbox, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 19:16, 26 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

This article was reviewed 11.26 on Allen Meadors https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Meadors and approved as a notable person, but has multiple issues I am trying to address. See the talk page there. I need to know if it is best to use "cite magazine code" for a bibliography of published works or if I can link to an embedded list using the a PDF file due to the fact that the list is extremely long (3 pages). Also a list of honors and awards received is extensive. I have google drive documents of both lists. Please advise. I know length of lists is an issue, but these support his achievements and are sources to his academic work.ScribeSyndicate (talk) 14:54, 27 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Can you please follow the advice here and request edits to the article on its talk page rather than editing it directly? Not only do you have a conflict of interest, but you are breaking the formatting of the article and adding incorrect information. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:34, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

the copy appears to have been edited with offending copyright material removed. I have attempted to add the inline citation. I am still figuring it out. The original source seems to have been removed from references during all the changes. I have consent forms out for the profile picture and for the resume link to be added to external links.ScribeSyndicate (talk) 22:46, 27 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Meadors's residence

edit

Hi again. Can I ask you to stop adding Meadors's current place of residence to the article? This is unsourced and was discussed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive247#Voter record as a source for a BLP, where the view was that it was inappropriate and unnecessary to include such personal information. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:27, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

I was not involved in that discussion. Fine. I was trying to add some information under the controversy as well as some references for adding honors, awards and grant information. Will you be blocking that? Will you need to see what I want to do right here first? Can I edit and let you decide later...please advise. Juno771 (talk) 22:36, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

The information is sourced in a few new references I would like to add though. Some of them are other Wiki pages.Juno771 (talk) 22:38, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I understand that you weren't part of the discussion, but it's a basic principle of Wikipedia that all material about living people must be reliably sourced. See Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Wikipedia articles can't be used as sources for other Wikipedia articles - for reasons that are hopefully obvious. Please propose any changes to the article on its talk page, as requested above. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:40, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please look at what I have added with references and I know I have not mastered coding the references properly despite going over several pages of material. Asking for help in adding the material to offset the negative controversy with positive material as previously discussed. Thank you Juno771 (talk) 22:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
If you mean this, then you wording is too promotional and many of the sources not independent of the subject's employer at the time (and one is a wiki site, which are not considered reliable sources). Once again, please propose changes on the talk page of the article. Cordless Larry (talk)
It also replicates information already in the article (for example about his appointment at and resignation from UCA). Cordless Larry (talk) 23:09, 22 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

I just added some edits along with citations and want to be sure they are added correctly to the reference list as i am uncertain it was added properly. There are additional titles added in para 1, there are additional work projects/responsibilities and citations added in para 4, minor modification to personal information regarding sons, and one line to the controversy para was added. Please advise or correct as needed. Please look at all information before attempting to revert as I am hoping that won't be needed. Thank you.Juno771 (talk) 13:45, 31 July 2017 (UTC) This was for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Meadors pageReply

Regarding, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Meadors page, we ask why an international recognized referred scholarly journal from Harvard cannot be included with regard to Allen's published material as Associate Editor. It appears to have been removed.Juno771 (talk) 12:03, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

You'd be better off asking questions relating to that article at Talk:Allen Meadors. I just happened to see your question here, but most editors won't be watching your user talk page. Anyway, to answer it, I removed the information from the article because the source you provided didn't appear to list Meadors. I now realise that if one scrolls down, the page extends. There appear to be 3,279 editors listed. Can that be right? Cordless Larry (talk) 15:54, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Also, just to note that the journal isn't published by Harvard but by Frontiers Media, based in Switzerland. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:10, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the correction Larry, and yes, there are many editors that contribute since its for researchers in academia.Juno771 (talk) 16:54, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I understand how academic journals work. That's why I'm a bit surprised. Usually, academic journals have a small editorial board (see, for example, here). Cordless Larry (talk) 17:17, 1 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
