Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Draft:Oliver Pursche

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Draft:Oliver Pursche, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://oliverpursche.com/.

It is possible that the bot was mistaken and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Tips for editing when you have a conflict of interest

Hello, KirbyMack. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Oliver Pursche, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 22:08, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:10, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Oliver Pursche, you may be blocked from editing. Removal of COI template Laber□^T 22:57, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But isn't this COI label just a matter of opinion. I do not nor have I ever worked for Oliver Purshce. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KirbyMack (talk • contribs) 22:59, 22 March 2016

The specifics don't matter; it's clear from your promotional edits that you have a commercial interest in Mr. Pursche's article. (Cf. WP:DUCK.) Even if that were debatable, you've already admitted that the photograph of Mr. Pursche you uploaded was paid for by your "company for use in Oliver's media package, website, and social media . . . ." Rebb ing 23:41, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Rebbing. You definitely seem to have some connection, by your own admission, with the subject of the article. Additionally, by your edit history, this seems to be a single-purpose account, so the evidence of a conflict of interest is fairly strong. I would advise that the best course of action at this point, KirbyMack, is to fill out one of the following conflict of interest tags and add it on the page in place of the {{COI}} tag to better clarify the exact nature of your relationship with the subject. --Erick Shepherd (talk) 23:52, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to wikipedia so yes my account only has this one solo article for the moment. So yes I am a single purpose account at the moment because we all have to start somewhere. I do not work for or directly with Mr. Pursche, I've never even met the man. I just wanted to added certain financial contributors to Wikipedia with an intent is to spread the word of the importance of financial planning and proper financial education. Mr. Pursche was the first and is one of many I was going to add as I wanted to highlighting the men whom contribute to it. I was also going to do so about certain game changing events in finances, like about Jason Derek Brown or Ross Mandell's company Sky Capital, sort of like the CNBC show American Greed(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Greed). I thought the more the information was readily available the better for everyone. In layman's terms, I was adding this articles for the same reason a fan of Ben Affleck adds an article about him, or a sports fan adds an article about his favorite player. I'm just a huge fan of finances and the good guys in it. I also think everyone should be more aware of the white collar crimes so they hopefully don't fall victim. But at this point I do not want to fight over it, if you feel I am out of line or not breaching a term of service, then I must be doing something incorrectly. So I await to see what you guys decide. If you choose to remove the article then I will just consider it a bad idea and deactivate my account. If you do not then perhaps I can either request someone to write these articles or find out the proper way because clearly, I have no idea what it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KirbyMack (talk • contribs) 21:19, 27 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Can some one close this discussion and delete this article please. Thanks

Better approach to editing

I would suggest that you start editing by focusing first on inadequate articles of existing people. I know it is tempting to go and create lots of articles on people who do not have articles yet. My first two contributions I remember were such, and both got put through deletion processes. One survived, but that was only because others rescued it by bringing in more sources. Of course the subject was clearly notable, I just had not brought in sources. It is best to contribute in other ways to helping articles that already exist before going out and trying to create new articles.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:32, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
