Conflict of interest

Hello, Thenfactor. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The N Factor Normandy Youth Club, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

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. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Thenfactor", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

• Thank you very much --Orange Mike, I appreciate your input, it has been very useful. I have read through the conflict of interest advice and checked through the 'Normandy Youth Club - The N Factor' page I have created, taking out anything that makes it sound impartial. I have removed the link to it's own website. I have also created my own account reflecting myself as an individual which is what I am and have remained impartial with regards to the article. I hope that you consider it now reads as acceptable to Wikipedia. Your advice and input is always helpful, thank you again. --Ladytwentytwo | Talk 23:30, 21 January 2013

Thenfactor/Ladytwentytwo, I stumbled onto your post at the help desk. Due to your blatant conflict of interest,[1] you should definitely not be creating an article for the organization you founded and direct. Although I'm sure your stated intent to remain impartial is sincere, it simply is impossible to accomplish. It's your organization and you therefore obviously have a deeply personal, passionate interest in it. If the article gets approved, you should limit your participation to only making suggestions on the article's not page. More importantly, you should fully disclose your conflict of interest whenever you participate in the article in an way. Other editors need to know that. I see above that Orange Mike has warned you. He's an administrator, so he'd be a good person to consult with any questions or concerns. In any case, I wish you the best of luck with your club. --76.189.109.147 (talk) 22:41, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Richard Beerhorst

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 Draft:Richard Beerhorst, 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.

@KylieTastic (talk page watcher) Take note of the previous speedy deletion that happened. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:02, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you Kylie Tastic for your expert advice and support, it is gratefully appreciated.

Thank you very much for your advice. I will work on this again in terms of gaining even more independent art critic references sources. I will also work through and choose the most suitable reference for each fact asserted. Thank you once again. Thenfactor (talk) 17:28, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
