  Hello, Louise Goueffic. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 14:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Answers to a couple of your questions

edit

Hi Louise: I saw you had asked a couple of questions and thought I'd give you some answers.

To get to the Teahouse, click on this link: Wikipedia:Teahouse. To ask a question there, you can click on "Get answers" and then on the next page on "Ask a question". Or if you prefer - or have a problem displaying those on your device - click on this link: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions and then on the "edit" tab at the top of the page, then scroll down to under the "PLEASE NOTE" section enclosed by double sets of vertical lines and start a new section by typing a header enclosed in == and ==. (Usually we put new sections at the bottom of a talk page on Wikipedia, as I am doing here, but the Teahouse is test driving a new system.)

Your draft article was deleted by Orangemike as being purely promotional. That's what G11 means; here is the section about it: WP:G11, and the rest of that page explains speedy deletion in general and the other criteria for it. You can ask Orangemike about it here: User talk:Orangemike. I see you have now recreated the draft, so you will probably want to ask at the Teahouse how you can make it appear less promotional and otherwise how to change it so that it will be accepted.

I hope that helps a bit? At the end of the welcome template that Doc Tree put at the top of this page, you will see that you can also copy this here and ask a question under it: {{helpme}}. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:07, 1 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

It seems to me that you are not getting it. Please read User:Timtrent/A good article, please at least do that. I am so sad to watch you wasting your time trying to get your monolith published in Wikipedia. There is good advice for you, but you seem unable to embrace it. Please embrace it. Please choose to embrace it. If you cannot, please at least acknowledge that you have received it, read it, and chosen to ignore it. Fiddle Faddle 23:47, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

I am trying hard to understand what I can and cannot do. My misunderstanding may stem in distinguishing what's notable for Wikipedia and what's notable to me. I read your article. The comment that you "do not mother but father an article" struck me hard. Because of the analysis I did in language I take this to mean that those of us who are not-male do not think like men: fem's thinking is inferior. This is insulting and upsetting because it is contemptuous in its "innocence".

I've read everything on Creating Wiki Articles. I'll read them again. I'll try to follow your advice that:

         "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information". 

I thought I was keeping the information connected. If not I'll delete what may be considered superfluous or indiscriminate.

I wouldn't mind a bit of specific advice. Louise GouefficLouise Goueffic (talk) 13:24, 24 May 2014 (UTC)Louise Goueffic (talk) 13:13, 24 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • comment Hi Louise. I don't think the 'not mother but father' an article line has anything to do with an assertion that female thinking is inferior - rather it was based in the stereotype that mothers tend to protect their children while fathers send them out into the world. The comparison was being made to articles which should not be protected and guarded over but sent out in the world to fend for themselves including enduring edits by other people who you may disagree with. Like all stereotypes it's an oversimplification but as I parent I can attest it does contain a grain of truth within.
Here is the bigger issue. You are trying to create an article on the Patriarchal code, a subject you have obviously spent a long time researching and on which you have published a book. However, the publication of one book about a new reading of language does not translate to wikipedia notability. In order for the topic to be notable, secondary sources must discuss it, and use the ideas from your book. If that hasn't happened yet, it's simply too early for such an article.--Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) 01:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Oh good grief. What's not to understand. Mothers wrap their babies in warm clothes until they reach the age of 67. Fathers do not. Linguistic analysis also involves understanding metaphor. Take offence if it pleases you to do so, but none was in the words I wrote to you. Fiddle Faddle 23:23, 27 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

MfD nomination of Draft:The Patriarchal Code

edit

Draft:The Patriarchal Code, a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:The Patriarchal Code and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Draft:The Patriarchal Code during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Fiddle Faddle 15:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Oversight

edit

If you were the IP editor that blanked the same content before I saw you revert it, you have inadvertently revealed your IP. This is somewhat concerning, as it can be used to find out what country you're in, county, city, timezone, etc and given that you use your real name, this is also somewhat concerning. I would recommend that if you're concerned about this, you can take to WP:OVERSIGHT and request revision delete of the edits. Privacy is one of the accomplishable reasons for revdelete.

1066

edit

In 1066 the French did not conquer the British.

William of Normandy, a Norman, root Norseman, arrived on our south coast and did battle with Harold, a Norseman, who happened to be here at the time and in somewhat in charge. I seem to recall that they were cousins. The then indigenous population submitted to the rather unpleasant and bullying William instead of to his cousin. We were always vulnerable to Norse invasions. Now we just have IKEA.

The French are somewhat different from the Norse. You may also wish to look at Brittany, and other areas. You might not realise that the Welsh, Cornish and Breton share a reasonably common tongue. Fiddle Faddle 15:15, 31 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
