User talk:Jbheaton
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Jbheaton, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Bartlit Beck Herman Palenchar & Scott, 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Pentagon UFO videos
[edit]Hello Jbheaton, and welcome back to Wikipedia! I am JoJo Anthrax. I have reverted (that is, removed) or edited some of your recent additions to Pentagon UFO videos for reasons that I explained in the edit summaries. For example, the content sourced to YouTube was removed because YouTube is not considered to be a reliable source for Wikipedia's purposes. If, however, you feel strongly about retaining any or all of that content, please consider discussing it with me and other interested editors at the article's Talk page, whereat consensus among editors can be reached. Thanks. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 15:25, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- I note further that the New York Post is not considered to be a reliable source. Please see the entry at WP:RSPS. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 17:51, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- I agree. Most of these edits [1] come off as clumsy and heavy handed, almost as if they were a parody of an overzealous scientific skeptic, rather than an attempt to improve the article. And the repeated insertion of deprecated sources like the New York Post is rather puzzling. Opening a discussion on the article Talk page and gaining consensus is advised. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:38, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
Well, I guess that's why it's free. No one would pay for that. The statements are all factual, so what's the beef? I'm happy to defer (as I must) to the source problem, but apparently the platform is not well trained on the reliability for some purposes (here, a Pentagon quote) comes even from the NY Post. That said, as you are both pseudonymous and I am not, I will assume that yours is the quality of "editing" here and will now bow out of this pointless exercise. "Kill away" at my edits. Here are the other pages I can recall: Luis Elizondo, Christopher Mellon, Leslie Kean, Donald Keyhoe. Have fun spreading your disinformation.
- If you can identify explicitly a single example of "disinformation" that I have "spread" on Wikipedia, please do so here. I'll wait. JoJo Anthrax (talk) 18:55, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
- And maybe you can explain what sources support the assertion that "the motivation of the Pentagon is suspect". [2]. - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:03, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
