User talk:Brianmetcalf

Welcome!
Hello, Brianmetcalf, 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 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, 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).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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

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!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Little Gandhi. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:13, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Lugnuts already explained to you that we don't credit associate producers in film infoboxes.

My last conversation with Lugnuts was that he/she was going to try and help with this. I have repeatedly tried to list the official poster on the page and not a temporary one, but it continuously keeps getting changed back to the temporary one. If you view any official article or IMDB it clearly shows the correct one. What is the purpose of having the ability to edit the page when I cannot even change the page of a film I am helping to produce?

I did not write the article about myself, I simply corrected and added footnotes to the current biography.

 * Sure, but as the note below says, wikipedia's conflict of interest policy says you should not edit the article directly, but rather can suggest changes on the talk page. The easiest way to do this is using the Template:Edit request. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 01:49, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello Melcous,

This issue was brought to my attention today by a fan. I tried to help out by filling out links to which you informed me that I could not do that. So I told the fan that I could not do it but had already given the proper reference links. She decided to finish the page and then again it is brought to my attention the following issues to which I am trying to address:

A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. (September 2018) - I did not have a close connection to her. I just got word of it today and tried to help. I have never met this person before nor did I even know of the issues until today

The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (August 2018) - in what way? I did not create this page initially.

This article is an autobiography or has been extensively edited by the subject or by someone connected to the subject. (August 2018) - As explained earlier, I tried to help not knowing the rules but backed off after. Now I am confused as to what should be done. My page was initially created by someone else and I tried to help fix it up. But now, what should I do? Just let it stay this way? I had never known of any issues on my wikipedia for years until today. Please let me know.

Please do not edit the article about yourself
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Brian Metcalf. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.
