User talk:PaulOlivier
Welcome
[edit]Hello, PaulOlivier, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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 reverted for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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.
The one firm 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Jojalozzo 03:28, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. [1] MrOllie (talk) 11:20, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
Reliable sources and conflict of interest
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia! New contributors often find themselves caught up in the Wikipedia rules with their first forays into editing here and I think have tripped a few triggers yourself.
- landfill_06.pdf is an anonymous document but even if it listed the author (you?) it appears to be self-published. In both cases we would consider it unreliable.
- Wikipedia also has policy that governs conflict of interest which seems to apply in this case since a person with the name Paul Oliver is the principal contributor to the esrla.com web site. Please review the conflict of interest policy before making further contributions. Expert help is extremely important to this project and I welcome and encourage your participation but we must also take care to leave our personal interests behind when we contribute here.
- Finally, an anonymous user added the esrla.com source back after I removed it. If this was you having forgotten to log in first, please try to use your registered account in the future. Intentionally using two accounts is a violation of policy called sock puppetry.
Perhaps you can find a source by another author to support the informative paragraph you added on gasification of fine particle fuels. Jojalozzo 03:31, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
