User talk:Chuks777777

Welcome!
Hello, Chuks777777, 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, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * 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.

 * Thanks Timetrent.
 * I admit I am the author of the main supporting paper, but I did not submit for mere self promotion, but to acknowledge the historical contributions of the Ishango mathematicians. I was reluctant to contribute due to the perceived self promotion/conflict of interest, but was encouraged by others that I was the most expert person to post on the subject. Thanks for the edits you have made to the references and first paragraph, they have improved the articles
 * Best wishes

 * The draft relies substantively on your own paper, which at this time is only a preprint, isn't it? That being the case, this would IMO would put it dangerously close to original research, and in any case fail the core requirement of verifiability from reliable sources. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:03, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks Chuks777777 (talk) 21:05, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * A further issue, presumably because the paper is a preprint, is the lack of citations from folk using it. While I presume the subject will gain notability in a Wikipedia sense in the future I sense that we are not yet at that point. But prove me wrong, that is your job! 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:11, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * OK. Appreciated! Chuks777777 (talk) 21:13, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * , the article seems to be in an arXiv type thing--that is, not peer-reviewed, not an academic journal. Drmies (talk) 21:17, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Drmies Grateful for the extra info. This suggests WP:TOOSOON to me. 🇺🇦  Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:38, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes. Maybe too soon. Thanks for your time. Chuks777777 (talk) 11:04, 21 October 2023 (UTC)
 * It is most assuredly interesting, too soon or not. 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 11:10, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia can be a mysterious place for academics
You might find that reading WP:ACADEME, aimed at Wikipedia editors, but perfectly useful for academics, is helpful 🇺🇦 Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:13, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
