Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to David Ryu. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Hello, I'm Klaun. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to David Ryu have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Klaun (talk) 01:26, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi Klaun, thank you for your message. I am acquainted with Wikipedia, and it's rules of COI, of which I have followed to the best of my ability. Can you explain how this content was promotional? Every statement or event listed in the removed content was cited with an impartial news article, and everything was factually correct. As an editor, I hold myself to a high standard for sourcing. Would love to be informed of what I can do differently in the future so that David Ryu's evidenced political positions may be listed. Thank you.


 * Hello . Any public figure is going to have WP:RS that echo statements they have made and actions they've taken.  Therefore an WP:NPOV editor can simply choose to include or exclude statements and actions, such that they push a particular position.  So having all content referenced to a WP:RS source doesn't make the article content neutral.  The article as it stands now reads like a political platform for Ryu.  It states his position without critical discussion or third party opinions.  The formating contributes to this, bold facing and list format are not encyclopedic.  In general, the content should be WP:PROSE.  There is also a further problem in that it is written with a contemporary voice (e.g words like "recent" see MOS:NOW).  You might want to review WP:COI and maybe WP:PAID again as they have some strong guidelines and suggestions you may have missed.  By the way, if you'd like to "ping" another editor, you need to use a Template:Reply to.  Just mentioning their userpage doesn't trigger an alert, with the exception of certain pages like ANI. --Klaun (talk) 19:03, 6 January 2018 (UTC)


 * By the way, while doing some editing on the David Ryu article and looking at the source, it came to my attention that you username seems to be the same as a section on David Ryu website. This might be a violation of the Username policy, particularly WP:ISU.  You can change it to add an additional identifier (e.g. Cd4_ch_johndoe) if it doesn't comply with policy.  WP:CHU is where you get it changed.  --Klaun (talk) 19:44, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
