User talk:Israelrockart

Welcome!

Hello, Israelrockart, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Rock art, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

To be clearer, I removed your contribution to Rock art because removed this item: 1) it linked to a gallery (promotion - see WP:LINKSTOAVOID #4), 2) it is an external link that shouldn't be in the body of the article - see WP:ELPOINTS #2, and 3) COI with user (based upon user name). If you have any questions about this, feel free to comment here.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:39, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The site is not promotional! Its full with important information and articles about rock art from Israel. It is a research site and as such it has a place in wikipedia. The gallery are pictures of deciphered rock art. They are integral part of the research presented. Please browse and read it then you can make a better decision. Thank you Israelrockart (talk) 16:34, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as your user name, you should likely register with another, nonpromotional name. See WP:PROMONAME.–CaroleHenson (talk) 23:42, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Rock art. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Please stop adding spam links to israelrockart.com to this article. Wikipedia should never be used for advertising, promotion, advocacy or a soapbox.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Israelrockart. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Rock art, 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. Netherzone (talk) 17:35, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm retired. I don't work for anybody now. I'm not compensated for any of the material I publish in this site, Its my summary of 20 years of independent research. I thought that you will be more open to accept new research material. I guess I was wrong. Please don't send me any more confusing emails. I'll not bother you anymore.
