From P. Barg/Z Animation

(99.67.181.89 (talk) 22:19, 23 October 2013 (UTC)) From Peter Barg/Z Animation To: Drm310

I am trying to list Z Animation on Wikipedia. Several other companies, Ace and Son, and Bent Image Group have done the same thing. I specifically followed their format and content. Ace and Son didn't have as much as Bent Image Group.

Thanks, and I'm happy to edit as needed. pb

My response includes several links to relevant policies. Please follow them for more extensive information, as I don't wish to repeat it all here.

Wikipedia is not a business directory. Just because a company exists does not mean it deserves an article. Those articles you mentioned are not particularly good either and may now fall under more scrutiny because of your mention.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia about notable topics as evidenced by significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. You did not provide reliable, independent sources that proved the company's notability. A company's own website is not satisfactory evidence.

I presume that you were previously editing under the username "ZAnimationTv". This has been blocked because an account cannot represent a business or organization - just an individual person.

In addition, you should not be writing about a company you own or are employed by - this is a conflict of interest. Wikipedia discourages this kind of editing because it quite often becomes nothing but advertising or promotion, neither of which is permitted. Please consult the plain and simple conflict of interest guide for further guidance on this matter. --Drm310 (talk) 15:23, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Drm310, thanks very much for your welcome and for giving this draft article an initial review. I have made the adjustments you recommended, although there isn't a whole lot more out there in the way of adequate third party references with which to expand the career section. Nonetheless, as you say, the sources themselves are good – she has received coverage in in some authoritative publications and in number of different contexts. You mentioned you don't usually review AfC submissions – can you suggest someone for me to approach who does, or else ping them here/there? Once again, thanks for your help.

Peaceplayers International

I have noticed that the PeacePlayers International Wikipedia page has been reverted to its original version because there were multiple accounts making changes. However, I forgot the original account passwords and did not setup an email for them so I created this last account to make the final changes. I have linked this account to an email and have saved the password so that I will not forget the password to this account as well. I apologize if this appeared as sockpuppetry, but it was really just me being forgetful of my account information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peaceplayersintl (talk • contribs) 16:22, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Very well. I've relayed your explanation to the sockpuppet investigation report and the admins may decide to close it without any action. However, there are still some major problems.

1. Your username(s) represent your organzation. This violates Wikipedia's username policy, which forbids any accounts that represent a group. They can only represent a single individual. I urge you to submit a request to change your username or your account will certainly be blocked.
2. You have copied and pasted material directly from your website, which is a copyright violation. Even if you are the copyright holder, you can't just re-use it without following Wikipedia's procedures for donating copyrighted materials.
3. You have a conflict of interest because you represent the subject. While this isn't forbidden, it's discouraged because of the strong potential for promotional editing, which is not permitted.

I suggest you change your username and also review the plain and simple conflict of interest guide before proceeding any further. Good luck. --Drm310 (talk) 16:40, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Drm310, thanks for you help on my talk page re this article. I've submitted it to AfC here and will now ping someone to it along with full disclosure of my COI. Thanks again. GATalbot (talk) 11:00, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

username change

In response to the username info you sent me, I have no problem changing it to my real name. I didn't see an area to do that. Perhaps you have a short cut for that, I scrolled down and clicked on a few things but to no avail.

JCPenney page

Hello,

As you're aware, I'm attempting to update information on the JCPenney page that is relevant and accurate. Most news releases to which I'm linking were issued by JCPenney and are filed with the SEC. Additionally, there is some information sprinkled throughout the 2010-2013 section that is either hearsay or not necessarily relevant to JCPenney as a company.

I do work for JCPenney, which I now understand is a conflict according to the conflict of interest guide. However, I'm unsure how to proceed with getting the page corrected with a neutral point of view and valid, reputable sources.

Thanks for your help.

Jcpnews (talk) 16:24, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your attention to the issues that I raised. There are a number of concerns that need to be addressed before you make any further substantial edits. I have included several relevant links in blue text for you to follow.

• Your username is a problem, as it violates Wikipedia's username policy. Wikipedia accounts must represent a single individual, and cannot represent a business or group. Corporate accounts are routinely blocked on sight for this violation. Another editor already reported it to Usernames for administrator attention, so I suggest you put in a request to change your username before your account is blocked from editing.
• I am glad you have reviewed the conflict of interest policies and have disclosed that you work for the company. Once you have changed your username or created another account for yourself, you should restate this on your user page. Other editors will appreciate your transparency and give you the benefit of assuming you are contributing in good faith.
• Wikipedia does not accept news releases as reliable sources as they are self-published material. Information provided by the company itself can only be considered a valid primary source if is plainly factual (e.g. number of employees, yearly earnings, etc.) but it cannot be use as a source for interpretations of those facts.
• Sources that are more likely to be accepted are those that are independent of the company (e.g. have no business or financial interests with the company) and have an established reputation for editorial oversight and fact-checking. Major news organizations are an example of such.
• Both positive and negative information about a topic is fair game if presented in a balanced way and backed by reliable sources.
• If there are statements which are spurious, please mention these on the article talk page where they can be discussed with other editors. The result of that discussion should result in a neutrally worded version acheived by consensus.

Hopefully this should help, and your future contributions will be more positively received. Good luck. --Drm310 (talk) 20:35, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Dodgeball link

My apologies. I was unaware adding links was against the rules. As you can see I am new here. I added the link because I had been alerted by friends that it should be up there since it is one of the premiere leagues like Dodgeball Nation and The National Dodgeball League. If its not allowed,then I understand, but the link is a reference to a website that people can use to find events, rules, and other info.

UAA

Hi there,

Thanks for your contributions to UAA. I just wanted to let you know that it's rather unproductive to politely warn a user about spam, and then ask for them to be blocked less than 60 seconds later. It's advisable to pick one route or the other. In this case you're probably right, but just keep this in mind for the future. Thanks, – Juliancolton | ^Talk 22:04, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

More often than not, I have perceived a significant lag between a user's listing at UAA and any admin action being taken. During that time, it's possible that the user can make further unconstructive edits, blissfully unaware that they're doing anything wrong. In my opinion, it's better to risk a redundant warning message and nip unconstructive editing in the bud, instead of cleaning up additional wreckage caused by an unwarned user.

I usually defer to the judgement of more experienced editors, but I hope you're open to reconsidering your opinion here. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 03:01, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Well, I can only direct you to the UAA Instructions, which I had no part in writing but happen to agree with. It's just important to remember that even if somebody is editing from a role account, there is still a real person on the other end of the block who is likely to be very confused. I guess I consider it contradictory to say "Hey, you're doing something we don't allow, please cut it out and you'll be fine" and then moving to have the same person blocked in the same glide of the mouse. At AIV, for instance, many admins will decline to block the routine vandal if they haven't edited since their final warning, and that's for blatant vandals! Just my thoughts. I have been known to A too much GF, though. – Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:06, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Bill Alfred

Ah well, Drm310: . I have no published source for this; it's what Bill told me, when I was sitting in the very chair Robert Lowell had been in, in Bill's living room at 31 Athens Street, when Bill was running back & forth to NYC doing the possible rewrite of "Hogan's Goat" as a musical for Ms Dunaway with Jules Stein. I wanted his lovely personality, the reason we all cherished him, on the record. If this must be deleted because I can't prove it, so be it. I'll continue to tell interested people about Bill, and if it never reaches print, so be it again. The truth is the truth, whether it's got a piece of paper to make it so or no. The ora/aural tradition sometimes is not fiction, d'you know? Deepsix it, keep it, no matter, in the long run.

Thank you for your message; rules is rules, I spoze. Later -

John McLaughln, PhDJohn McLaughlin, PhD (talk) 15:48, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi John. While I'm sure your story is genuine, it unfortunately doesn't pass Wikipedia's core content policies of verifiability, no original research and neutral point of view. Material added to Wikipedia must have been published previously by a reliable source to be considered acceptable. One's unpublished personal knowledge or experiences don't clear this bar. "Verifiability, not truth" summarizes the philosophy that we don't ask readers to believe with blind faith that what they're reading is true - reliable sources must back it up. As well, Wikipedia is not a memorial site for others to leave their personal recollections of a deceased person. It is an encyclopedia with content written from a plainly factual and emotionally uninvolved neutral point of view. Since you knew the subject personally, I can see how it would be difficult for you write about him from the viewpoint of a disinterested third party. Should your anecdotes be published by a reliable source someday, they might be welcomed back if summarized as balanced, neutrally worded content. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 16:15, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

Discussion on removal of page Gender_violence_in_movies

Dear Drm310, I appreciate the time that you spent to review the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_violence_in_movies .

You propose to remove the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_violence_in_movies. Because of the following concern: unsourced and Original research . I believe to have inserted a source for each item (a link to the movie), please let me know which statement did you find that it was unsourced. I understand the meaning of "Original research" but I respectfully disagree that to list a series of movies would be original research (e.g. see page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_science_fiction_films). — Preceding unsigned comment added by GenderMovie (talk • contribs) 07:37, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

United Hospitals Lawn Tennis Club

Hi, this is Oliver Davies, editor/contributor/creator of United Hospitals Lawn Tennis Club wikipedia page. Thanks for your message. Just to say that I see how it could look like a conflict of interest as I am the captain of the club and have so listed myself as, but I don't see that the article in any way represents any bias otherwise. I appreciate the need to check for these sorts of problems but I hope after reading the article you agree that it is not a problem in this particular case. Thanks again, Oli 92.24.80.127 (talk) 01:44, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Responded at User talk:Olivercdavies#Conflict of interest. --Drm310 (talk) 21:59, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi, this is Oliver Davies again, it was me last time as well but I had forgotten to sign in. Thanks again for your message. I have added in additional links to other websites including UH rugby and linked the page to the main united hospitals wikipedia page as well as adding in an external reference regarding a section of the article. These omissions were an oversight on my part before and I do apologise. The fact that United Hospitals has a reasonably sized wikipedia page already and that the UHLTC page is analagous to the, existing and approved, UH rugby wikipedia page then I hope along with the body of the article this shows the relevance of the club to the greater world. I therefore do not see it as simply being a personal interest, ultimately somebody with some knowledge does have to make the effort to write and submit it, hence why such COI is not prohibited, and given the rolling nature of the captaincy, as shown on the page itself, I think the objective observer can, within reason, conclude that I am in a suitably not profitable/benefiting position/capacity to submit the page. As is the nature of such clubs there aren't great deal external references available due to it not being a regular news headline establishment. However given that thousands of other such organisations/clubs, with substantially less historical significance, are all listed on wikipedia I see it would only be a detriment if the page were removed. Regarding the historical legacy of the club this can be demonstrated by the engravings on the cup itself, as well as a later-dating secretarial log book, however as you can imagine, neither are 'online' to be referenced in such a way.

Admittedly the article has not been fully 'trimmed' as such, in time I will complete the list of previous captains, add a picture of the Cup with the engravings and add further details as to events such as the Queens Christmas ball. However it will not be possible to do these in the near future, but I do not see them as detracting from the article enough to render it incomplete and remain soley a scrapbook. sandbox draft.

I hope this helps explain any problems you may have felt over the page. It is reassuring that such vigilance is maintained and gives confidence in the content of wikipedia. Incidentally, you refer to senior/ experienced editors and people who may delete it, who exactly are these people if not you?

Thanks,

Oli — Preceding unsigned comment added by Olivercdavies (talk • contribs) 00:44, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, looks like everything's been cleaned up now.

Well, they have 1107 edits to the article, and here and in other edits they're tweaking a message signed "Alan Bobé-Vélez", no doubt also that new editor you left a note for.

I just stumbled across it recently and I agree, it's a horrible mess. It's unfortunate that a tight cabal of people have been editing (badly) it for so long without attracting any outside attention.

If you are simply practicing on how to edit Wikipedia, it would be better for you to do this is in your user sandbox. This is an area for users to do practice edits without creating actual encyclopedia articles.

Be careful when writing about yourself, though. I will draw your attention to Wikipedia's user page guidelines and its summary that says:

User pages are for communication and collaboration. While considerable leeway is allowed in personalizing and managing your user pages, they are community project pages, not a personal website, blog, or social networking medium. They should be used to better participate in the community, and not used to excess for unrelated purposes nor to bring the project into disrepute.

Extensive writing about your DJ career (especially using self-complimentary language) can be interpreted as promotional material, one of the many things that Wikipedia is not meant for. --Drm310 (talk) 15:33, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

In response to message from DRM310 -- RE: My recent article submission

Hi D-

Thank you for your message regarding my article regarding my published book "Entrepreneurial Essentials:..." I get it! However, if a third party writes the article for me, does it change anything? As is, I don't find any self promotion other than stating the facts of what the book is about, including citations/references.

Cheers! James --Jdrazure (talk) 05:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi James. I'll refer you to the section of Wikipedia's autobiography policy that refers to unconscious biases, which is why Wikipedia discourages autobiographies outright and not just active, deliberate self-promotion. This section explains why the Articles for creation process is a much better route if you truly believe that you are notable enough to deserve an article.

As for a third party, it would depend on who that is. If it's someone who has a relationship with you (friend, colleague, or something acting upon your direction), then they would have a conflict of interest that would have to be disclosed. It's preferred that it be a completely disconnected, disinterested third party, who felt compelled to write about you after hearing about you from reliable, independent sources that establish your notability. --Drm310 (talk) 01:51, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

tracycook TracycookIIBA (talk) 21:25, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello Tracy, and thank you for disclosing your affiliation with the subject of the article. My message to you was a generic message that can be given to editors who may have a conflict of interest when editing an article.

I recommend that you review Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide for advice. It will explain in detail what contributions are acceptable and unacceptable for a person in your position. Note that employees of businesses/organizations are almost always discouraged from directly editing articles relating to themselves. Instead we encourage you to make suggested edits on the article's talk page.

Some of the text you added is closely paraphrased from your corporate website, e.g.:

"IIBA is dedicated to the development and maintenance of standards for the practice of business analysis, and for the certification and recognition of practitioners. IIBA is the first organization to offer formal certification for business analysis professionals..."

is only superficially different from this. [1] Not only does this violate Wikipedia's policy on copyrights, but it also sounds promotional, which violates the neutral point of view policy. This is why we prefer uninvolved editors to make the edits, so that it can be free of corporate PR.

I recommend that you suggest your changes on the article talk page instead of directly editing the article itself. Hope this has helped. --Drm310 (talk) 21:51, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, but this post indicates that you're sharing your account with someone else, which violates Wikipedia's username policy. Even if that were not the case, you should not be writing about yourself. Wikipedia has a clear policy against autobiographies, because of the inherent difficulty of a subject to judge his or her notability and to write a neutral, verifiable biography. Sorry this isn't the outcome you wanted, but you should let someone uninvolved write about you. If what you've done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified by reliable, independent sources, someone else eventually will. --Drm310 (talk) 16:24, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Regarding our content

Hi Drm310,

May I ask how this content is considered as advertising? If you check out the Wikipedia post for Warby Parker, it is very similar to that and our business model is almost the same as Warby Parker, The only difference is we have furniture. Please let me know. This is regarding New York FUnctional FUrniture content.

Thanks, Pinar — Preceding unsigned comment added by New York FUnctional FUrniture (talk • contribs) 21:19, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

1. Your account name violates Wikipedia's username policy, which forbids usernames that represent a business or organization. Accounts can only represent a single individual editor.
2. You represent the company and therefore have a clear conflict of interest. You should not write about a subject to which you have a close connection. You are not the best judge of its notability and will find it difficult to write about it objectively.
3. You have posted the material on your user page, which is not an encyclopedia article. Your user page is meant for basic information about you (the person) and your activities relating to Wikipedia. It is not an article space and should not be styled as such.
4. The above three points strong imply an intention to use Wikipedia to promote your business instead of writing a purely factual, neutrally worded article about it.
5. Unlike the Warby Parker article, your content is unsupported by reliable, independent sources - in fact, it cites no sources at all. Wikipedia articles must meet this requirement to comply with the policy of verifiability.

In short, don't write about your own company. If you truly believe your business is notable, and you can back up your claim with reliable, independent sources, then follow the steps at either Requested articles or Articles for creation. --Drm310 (talk) 21:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
