Dear MrsSnoozyTurtle, many thanks for your reply. My apologies but I do not know what sock puppetry is? I was at La Trobe University and heard about the Victoria Prize for Science and Innovation, know the winner Kay Crossley but thought that Mike Xie was rather interesting. When speaking with him I learned all the information that was in the article from research and discussion. He was keen to have a Wikipedia page and I offered to write it as my attempt of freelance writing. Your guidance in making this more Wikipedia friendly would be appreciated.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Maui has been reverted.
Your edit here to Maui was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://wikitravel.org/en/Maui%7Cby) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 07:16, 15 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Do you have any connections to Mike Xie or RMIT University? Regards, MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 23:44, 29 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Still editing

  You have an obvious conflict of interest and you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for an organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. If you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Innovation001. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Innovation001|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:

  • you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
  • The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
  1. significant coverage in
  2. independent,
  3. multiple,
  4. reliable,
  5. secondary sources.
Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.


  • You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
  • There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
  • You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above. MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 05:24, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Dear MrsSnoozyTurtle - Thank you for your comments and bringing to my attention. However, I feel exactly the same as Charmkey (with whom you had a similar converstion recently) and without copying the entire discussion between both of you, I also feel very strongly on the same points. I am a first time writer and obviously need assistance in writing to appear neutral. The work conducted by Mike Xie and the awards, accolades he has received are to his credit and should be highlighted – for example article from ‘Architecture and Design’ highlights how influential he is on a global scale - one of my independent sources of information which mentions RMIT University and the Laureate Fellowship. My first attempt at freelance writing is this article and your assistance would be greatly appreciated. You asked that the information be cited, which I did - referring to RMIT University where all my references are public domain. Other sources include the Government websites regarding the awards he has won - also public domain. Your assistance in removing the COI and any further assistance you can offer to make my article more neutral would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards.

  • Hello Innovation001. Please note that User:Charmkey was blocked recently for sockpuppetry and your significant edits all relate to this man, so the quacking is quite loud. Therefore I think it is appropriate that the COI tag on the article is restored. MrsSnoozyTurtle (talk) 00:19, 8 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Mike Xie, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. - Arjayay (talk) 09:47, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Arjayay, my mistake as I was rushing and accidently removed and couldn't put back, still learning my way around Wikipedia. The changes that I made to the content, has it improved and made it not appear as written by a fan? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you and enjoy your weekend.

Pinging Arjayay. --I dream of horses (Contribs) Please notify me if replying off my talk page. Thank you. 15:13, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
