User talk:RalphWRECKEDit

Welcome!

Hello, RalphWRECKEDit, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was NewsBreak, which 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 undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. 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.

One 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. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style
• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hi @Jay8g no, I do not have a conflict of interest with anything right now. I currently have no employer, just a lot of random thoughts and interests. I appreciate youre message and if in the future I do have a conflict of intrest, I will make sure to post it. Thank you for your message. RalphWRECKEDit (talk) 19:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Sock-puppet content is not always automatically invalid. And edit-warring when another good-faith editor has claimed that it meets content standards is purely disruptive. There may well be problems with the NewsBreak article, but don't behave badly while claiming to try to improve it. DMacks (talk) 18:30, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

RalphWRECKEDit, I'll be happy to discuss with you or any other user on the talk page. By restoring the section, I've taken responsibility for the content and I've reviewed it and checked that it is verifiable and neutral. (WP:PROXYING is sort of the policy that covers this)

On another note, thanks for uploading File:NewsBreak_HQ.jpg. I think it'd really help illustrate the article. Just checking, are you sure you have no connections to the company whatsoever? I know you stated that you don't have a COI above, but almost all of your edits are focused on the specific article and you did take the photo above. You might want to branch out a bit and look for some other articles to write about, the task center is a good place to start :D Justiyaya 04:12, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey @Justiyaya I actually had a cousin that was visiting Mountain View for something and I asked if they could take a picture since this was top of mind. And yea, sometimes I hyper-fixate on things (like this article). Thanks for the heads up though on branching out, I really appreciate it :) RalphWRECKEDit (talk) 18:31, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Got it, apologies for asking again. Thanks again for the photo and feel free to ping me if you need any help. Happy editing! Justiyaya 01:35, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey @DMacks Thanks for the help! I wasn't 100% sure about the content but was just trying to help with the page. RalphWRECKEDit (talk) 18:32, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
