This is the current revision of this page, as edited by Theroadislong (talk | contribs) at 22:47, 2 January 2016 (they were legal consultants for the Russian Egyptian Business Council actually but how this makes them notable I can't fathom?). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this version.

Dear this is the official website of the Egyptian business council and its credible source as its a governmental organization that we are their partners and official legal consultant

Sorry

Sorry. My intention was not to undo but to correct and use other references in some cases. I'm trying to rethink things as I go along. As some references included photos only and not name, I therefore aimed to find a better one. I'll try to identify your example. Thank you.

Sula Vineyards Wiki Page

Hi,

I see that you added the advert box on the sula vineyards wiki page. I am currently working on this page for a school project, and was wondering where exactly it did not sound neutral or too promotional?

It is possible for you to edit those parts out or show them to me so I could make the needed changes?

Thanks!

Further improvements

Hello Theroadislong... I'd like to work with you to improve SOCO International's Wiki page, get the facts out there and legitimize the page/remove the tags. I will not directly edit the page again since I am a COI editor and do have a 'close connection' with the subject. Nevertheless, I would like to help present the facts about SOCO's activities while adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines. In order to remove the promotional content I suggest removing the following three sentences, but please let me know what needs to happen to further improve the page and I would be happy to assist: -- "In 2016 it was reported that SOCO had indicated that with low cost production, no debt and its disciplined approach to capital allocation, the company was in a good position to weather a prolonged industry downturn." --"Looking ahead, the company said it plans to produce 10,000 to 11,500 barrels of oil equivalent a day in 2016 This doesn't included potentially higher output scenarios from its TGT field in Vietnam." --"The start of production was achieved more than a month ahead of schedule, SOCO said, and the H5 wellhead platform development was completed with zero lost time accidents." I look forward to hearing from you, SOCOrep — Preceding unsigned comment added by SOCOrep (talk • contribs) — SOCOrep (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The content you added was promotional and copied from their website Wikipedia takes copyright issues very seriously, all content needs to be written in your own words and backed up by reliable secondary sources. Theroadislong (talk) 15:59, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Understanding

Hello I'm not promoting the event I'm just creating a efficent page about the event! I really need an explanation! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elisa C (talk • contribs) 16:12, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is only concerned with what the reliable sources have reported about a subject. You need to find content in magazines, newspapers, news websites etc. Theroadislong (talk) 16:17, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Long Man of Wilmington

This information was given to me in conversation with the now-deceased history teacher, and confirmed by a colleague.. Apparently it has been the talk of the staffroom ever since! I am not sure how you would make this into a citation. I don't suppose it really matters - I was just trying to round out the story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sally Chewter (talk • contribs) 17:15, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

ALL content needs to be cited to reliable published sources. Theroadislong (talk) 17:22, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

===========

Hi there, I'm concerned with certain edits you've made and questions of citations for my listing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Robinson By completely removing this paragraph: "When his military obligation was completed at the end of 1970, he moved to a small village in the south of France. Using that as his base, he vagabonded around the world, writing articles and short stories for leading North American and British periodicals." ...

... you are obliterating a very important 12 years of my career. The next graph makes no sense, nor does the subsequent mention of moving to London, unless it's mentioned that I spent those 12 years running around the world covering stories for various publications, but especially the International Herald Tribune in Paris, and managing to pull off the extremely difficult trick of becoming a very successful (and regarded) freelance writer. I'm not suggesting that the listing make sensational claims, but those years in France were absolutely essential to the rest of my career.

Also... you ask for certain citations, many of which I can supply and will happily do so. But some of them are difficult to manage without referencing newspaper articles that are not available on line. I'm happy to send you those references, and even make photocopies if you want to see them. But many of these were a long time before the Internet and are, for the most part, now long forgotten.

Others were once on line and have since been eliminated, for whatever reason. There was, for example, a long biographical sketch of me published in Temple University's alumni magazine which had been on line but is no longer. Again, I have those references, which will look like a periodical references in a term paper, and can even send copies, if that will suffice.

On the other hand, references to my IHT experience are, for example, found here: http://www.cjr.org/feature/the_back_page.php

As you can see, the CJR fact checks everything.

Please know that I'm more than happy, and even anxious, to work with you to clean up the listing, that is if you're willing and kind enough to do that with me.

In advance, thank you/ JR SJR524 (talk) 10:53, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
