User talk:Ehm2233

Welcome!

Hello, Ehm2233, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 22:10, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Groundhog Day (musical), without citing a reliable source using an inline citation that clearly supports the material. The burden is on the person wishing to keep in the material to meet these requirements, as a necessary (but not always sufficient) condition. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mlpearc Phone (open channel) 16:11, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Danny Rubin. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mlpearc Phone (open channel) 16:11, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Ehm2233. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. S0091 (talk) 15:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

CMX Systems

I got your email about editing CMX and yes, you do have a COI so should make WP:edit requests. The best approach for edit requests is start with a small change. I also suggest, as much as possible, rather than using your book(s) directly as a source is to use other sources that reference your book(s) (either written about it or cited it). That keeps it somewhat arms-length. See also WP:SELFCITE and WP:SELFPUB. You can use the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard to make the request. @ScottishFinnishRadish, you review edit requests, right? If so, do you have any other guidance. This editor is an WP:EXPERT who once worked for CMX and has written at least one book about non-linear editing, which includes information about CMX. S0091 (talk) 17:50, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't handle that many COI requests, but I've done enough to give some advice here. You want to make sure that edits you're submitting are complete with references and the exact prose you'd like to use to make things easier for the request patrollers. Also, when it comes to your references, it is helpful to provide a short quote from the source if it's not available freely online, and if the sources you're using are not well known it's helpful to provide an indication that they are reliable in the context of the edit. This can be done by showing a book review or similar from a reliable source that demonstrates that they consider the work reliable. Lastly, do everything in your power to avoid any flowery or even vaguely promotional sounding language. COI edit requests face extra scrutiny for WP:NPOV, and using the most neutral language possible will help in getting the request implemented. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a ping and I'll take a look. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:35, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Melvin L. Rubin

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Melvin L. Rubin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaophthalmology/fullarticle/1862752 and Copyvio since the first version, cannot be saved.. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. -Lemonaka 03:21, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
