External links

I see that you have repeatedly tried to insert a link to a Legatum website in the Dag Detter article. While that is an understandable instinct, we actually discourage "external" links - links that aren't to another Wikipedia page - within the body of the article (see guidelines at WP:ELPOINTS for more information.) The body of the article itself should stick with internal links (links to other pages of Wikipedia and its sister projects), although there is often a section below the article itself marked "External links" for links, generally to sources of more information about the subject of the article itself. I am replacing the external link you placed with an internal link. --Nat Gertler (talk)

Hi NatGertler, Apologies I didn't realise. I know now, thanks! Tiger

Not a problem! We're all new editors at some point!

And among things to learn as a new editor: end your messages on Talk pages like this with four tildes in a row (~~~~). That will insert your official signature and timestamp on the comment, making it clear to everyone who left it and when. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:53, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Thanks NatGertler, I'll get there I'm sure! Really appreciate the insight, it's a bit of a minefield. Tiger tigerinthesmoke (talk) 14:57, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Just be calm, realize that the editors you're dealing with went through this at some point as well, and that folks undoing some of your edits should not be seen as personal criticism but more as a learning experience. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:59, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Got it, thanks I will certainly remember that! --tigerinthesmoke (talk) 15:01, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Tigerinthesmoke. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article The Public Wealth of Nations, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Nat Gertler (talk) 13:37, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi NatGertler, thanks for your message. There's no conflict that I can think of, do I need to do anything else? tigerinthesmoke (talk) 14:55, 18 November 2016 (GMT)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Swedish Reform Institute

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 The Swedish Reform Institute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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.

Hi NatGertler, I'm not sure I understand why my article has been tagged for deletion...help! tigerinthesmoke (talk) 10:28, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not intended to have articles on everything. There are simply too many things in the world, and that would make it unmaintainable. While there are certain categories of things that we want to have an article on every one of (for example, we want an article on every country), there are many we do not. We don't want an article on every company or every organization. We want the notable ones, the ones that have had some sort of an impact. Apparently, the user @RA0808: looked at the article that you put up on the Institute and felt that not only did it not prove that the Institute has had an impact that made it notable, it didn't even make a reasonable claim of something that would indicate notability. Note that there's sort of a mid range we're looking for; there are claims that are too mild ("The Institute is an economic research place where they research economics" would not be a worthwhile claim, because that is an assumed attribute of any economic institute, whether an important one or not. Nor would "At the Institute's cafeteria, they serve the best burgers in the world!" as that is quite subjective and not a likely source of import of an economic institute.) There are also claims that are too big and thus not credible ("The Institute keeps the earth from falling into the sun!" "The Institute is secretly planning to launch the zombie apocalypse!"), at least not without some strong source in place. But somewhere in the middle are claims that show significance and suggest that, even if sources are not presented, "The Institute's studies have led to strong changes in the Polish government's fiscal plans for the last twenty years," say, or "The Financial Times called the Institute 'one of the leading lights in radical economic theory'."

None of this is saying that the Institute cannot have an article, just that RA0808 saw the short article that was presented and felt that it didn't have that justifying nugget in it, and administrator @Cryptic: saw that and agreed, and therefor deleted it. You are free to try again on creating an article about them at this point. You can even ask for a copy of what was deleted to be put into a "sandbox" area of your account where you can rework it until it has a good strong base to it - see WP:UNDELETE for that.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:38, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Oh I see, ok that really helps thank you. I thought it might be useful but I can see your point. Ok I'll see if I can find more information, or else leave it until it become more notable! Thanks again tigerinthesmoke (talk) 17:53, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Public commercial assets

Hello, Tigerinthesmoke. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Public commercial assets, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of National wealth fund

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 National wealth fund requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://ir.citi.com/cZkMjNg%2Fb7BvXOEHQ3USy%2BeIyQFXO%2FZDV8X0DURKZWJaAelYEesE8S48%2BZYB6nOTQF7jrClqchY%3D. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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.

Deletion pending for File:Odafe Atogun - South African Book Fair 2018.jpg

Hello, Tigerinthesmoke. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Odafe Atogun - South African Book Fair 2018.jpg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

• If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

• If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 15:38, 27 December 2018 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest

One or more persons with “an undisclosed connection to” Stefan Fölster and Dag Detter are editing the articles about these two people, their book The Public Wealth of Nations, and other articles associated with their work. This is an “apparent COI”. The person or persons are using the accounts Hollyeighteen, Sakakawean, Tigerinthesmoke, and Timeforteapet. As a sanction against this person or persons, I shall

1. Post this notice on the talk pages of the most important affected articles.
2. Post a notice on WP:COIN.
3. Delete most of the contents of these articles, since the users mentioned above use Wikipedia to promote two people and their work in clear breach of rules pertaining to COI.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

Sockpuppet investigation

An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Hollyeighteen, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented his evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community. Min hemliga identitet (talk) 07:42, 4 February 2020 (UTC)
