Transgender rights movement

edit

Hello Aron,

Thanks for your contribution to Transgender rights movement. I reverted most of the copy-paste of the article from URJ, and copied it to the article's Talk page, for reasons explained there, and replaced it with a much briefer statement; I hope you'll find that acceptable in lieu of the longer word-for-word version.

I see also that you attempted to make a change a couple of years ago, which ended up getting reverted; and here we are, and kind of the same thing is happening. I hope this won't discourage you, as Wikipedia does have a lot of rules that are a little hard to get on board with, but the most important ones are few, and involve sourcing everything you write with citations to reliable sources to ensure verifiability. So far, so good; you've done that.

There is something else that you need to know about if you're going to be editing here (and I hope you will) which involves writing about yourself or organizations that you are a member of or closely allied to. That is covered in Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline. I'll add the boilerplate about COI below in a separate section after this one.

There are two kinds of Talk pages that you should know about: User talk pages, and Article talk pages. This page, is a "User talk page" where editors can communicate among each other about various topics about your contributions, and also the mechanics of using Wikipedia, Q & A, and other things. An "article Talk page" is an adjunct to every article on Wikipedia, where editors can discuss how to best improve a particular article: here are some examples: Talk:Isaac Schneersohn, Talk:Brooklyn Museum, Talk:Transgender rights movement. It is at this last talk page, that I have discussed your addition to the Transgender rights movement article.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask below, if they are a continuation of this topic, or at my talk page at any time, for other topics. I'm available any time you need assistance. You can also type a question here on your talk page, and add the special symbol {{Help me}} somewhere in the section, and someone will be along to answer your question. I hope you enjoy editing here, and will become a regular editor! Mathglot (talk) 23:50, 13 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest information

edit

  Hello, Aron Hirt-Manheimer. 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 COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Hi Aron, don't worry about the wording of the stuff above; it's standard boilerplate that goes out to everybody in this situation. The reason for it, is to ensure that people reading Wikipedia can rely on its reliability, and Neutral point of view, so I hope you view it as a good thing, as do I. If you do want to write about URJ, you can still do so, but you should probably disclose any connection you have with URJ, here on your talk page, and on the article talk page. I can show you how to do that ({{UserboxCOI}} is one method), or see the COI guideline, section Templates. Hope this helps, Mathglot (talk) 00:02, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew rehfeld

edit
 

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 Andrew rehfeld, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. cymru.lass (talkcontribs) 20:37, 21 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
