User talk:Australiannewsmakers

Welcome!
Hello, Australiannewsmakers, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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.&#32;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 any other 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Yngvadottir (talk) 04:32, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Australiannewsmakers, your latest changes to Quincy Timberlake concern me. They are all marked minor, although you introduce large amounts of new text, including in quotations. In one place you added an unsourced reaction by friends and followers; in another you added a passage in first person that was not a quotation, suggesting the article was being written by Timberlake. You fixed a few of the typos and other errors but introduced many more. This is not what the article needs. It needs to be made shorter and tighter and to use more neutral wording, it needs to have almost everything referenced, and it needs to be largely free of typos and errors of English. Please focus on making it a good encyclopaedic entry. If you are affiliated with Timberlake, it would be a good idea for you to step back at this point and let others who are not make it more neutral and factual, because it is hard to write neutrally, based only on what teh sources say, when one is invested in the topic, but neither Wikipedia nor the article subject benefit from something that is overly emotional and overly lengthy being in an encyclopaedia.

 * A lot of the removed material that was highly promotional or improper, was obviously copyright violations or was generally badly sourced was re-added wholesale without comment by you. That's not the way this project works. So to echo what Yngvadottir is saying above, please stop editing this article altogether. You obviously cannot be neutral, nor do you seem to have any particular respect for our policies and guidelines. § FreeRangeFrog croak 04:42, 4 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I've gone through this article with a finer comb than last time when I just removed material that was obviously promotional or badly sourced. I now understand what you've been doing: You've created an expansive and rather bombastic narrative designed to give the impression that the subject of the article is an important part of Kenyan politics, which is not even remotely supported by the large number of citations you've provided. You've made claims about the subject and then link to articles that are generally about Kenyan political issues, but don't even remotely mention Quincy Timberlake. Entire swaths of the article were (and are still) like that. Basically you're using Wikipedia to create an image, rather than reflect it from reliable sources, which is what we do around here. This is highly misleading and completely against the Wikipedia policies on neutrality, self-promotion and verifiablity (not to mention copyright violations). Needless to say at this point we do not want you editing the article. Your next edits should be made to this page to address our concerns. Anything else can and will result in your account being blocked from editing permanently. § FreeRangeFrog croak 09:34, 4 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I have blocked your account indefinitely for disruptive editing. You may, as we asked before, address the concerns we had about this article, you may suggest changes, corrections or additions. You may not however revert our edits wholesale and restore the same misleading information you created. This article is not your property, and it must reflect what the sources say about the subject. This is the only page you can edit for now, so and I will be waiting. P.S: editing while logged out won't work either. § FreeRangeFrog  croak 08:15, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

The Australiannewsmakers shall abide by laws and guidelines but not as ignorantly thought earlier. Deep apologies and do not be so harsh as some of us here are new learning. I cannot compare myself to you a veteran. Please, help and warn before taking hurtful drastic measures. I promise that I"ll abide by all rules and guidelines. If there is an error, please secretly let me now before embarrassing me for sure. Dontyou forget I have also financially supported the wikipedia alonhaide friends. We do contribute monthly, so why torture your family. Can you build me a website? The musicians yiu are putting on Quincy's page are just rumor mills, he has never performed eith them.

 * Australiannewsmakers: it is extremely unlikely the page will be deleted; he meets our basic standard for notability. And no one can warn you in private first before editing any page on Wikipedia; when you edit here, you agree to release your work unconditionally and you also agree that it will be edited by others. A reminder of these points appears above the "Save" button. The page reflects the independent reliable sources that and I were able to find, including those you had put in the article that were reliable and independent. It is, however, possible that you know of other reliable and independent sources (i.e, newspaper articles, magazine articles, TV news reports: not interviews, things written by Timberlake himself or his wife or his lawyer, and not press releases or other statements from the PlaCenta Party) that demonstrate that something in the article is incorrect. If you can find any such sources, please give us the URL here - or if it's not online, the author, full title, name of publication or of TV/radio station, and date, and a short quotation. If it's not in English, that's not a big problem (just give the full information and the name of the language). If an independent reliable source shows the article is incorrect, I or another editor will be glad to make the change.


 * I'm going to leave the unblock request removed; it's not 100% clear whether you have to have it on this page. But if you decide you want to ask to be unblocked again, go back in the history and find it, because it contains the instructions for doing so.


 * For the rest, I am not sure I understand. I hope you realise that contributions to the Wikimedia Foundation are entirely voluntary and have nothing to do with editing Wikipedia? No, I can't build you a website, sorry.


 * I will watchlist this page. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:29, 7 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I have just reverted edits from 49.189.20.195 that removed cited information and introduced uncited; there was one source added, but it did not support what it was cited for and it was among the more hearsay-based and defamatory sources on the matter. also reverted a bunch of edits by another IP, but did remove the music section as a concession - although I disagree that it is badly sourced or undue, I have not reinserted it. However, at this point I must note that if these IPs are you, you are block evading and what you should instead do is find that block template in the history of this page, with its instructions, and make another unblock request. Also, just in case, in view of the "We" in your statement above, and the fact your user name is plural, let me remind you that Wikipedia accounts are not to be used by more than one person. If you are unblocked, that will remain true. If the IPs are someone else, please make sure they are aware of the considerations of sticking to reliable sources.
