Your connection to IFG?
What, if any, is your connection to IFG? Do you know this person personally? Are you being paid or otherwise compensated for editing this article? WP:COI and WP:PAID may apply. David notMD (talk) 21:40, 21 May 2020 (UTC)


 * May we take this to be a declaration that you are a paid editor? —C.Fred (talk) 23:48, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

IFG article
Elizabeth, please read what's linked above about Paid Editing and Conflict of Interest. I suppose "EA" means "Editorial Assistant"?

As you appear to be closely connected to IFG, if you want to improve this currently rather feeble article you should not edit it yourself but could help by making comments on the talk page, providing Independent Reliable Sources for any change you suggest is made or information you suggest should be included. Other editors could then use these sources to improve the article. I don't know what the previous versions looked like as apparent copyright violations have been removed, but information from someone's CV should be added selectively, only including key points which are likely to be of interest to the reader, and providing a link to the full online CV for anyone who wants every detail. Similarly full lists of publications are not appropriate, while a selective list of someone's major contributions is useful. Pam D  09:03, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * I see you asked at the Teahouse about "downloading" an image. I think you meant "uploading", as in adding it to the encyclopedia. See Uploading images. In a nutshell the copyright owner of the photograph needs to upload it and declare that it may be used for all purposes, including commercial use. It's much simpler if whoever owns the copyright does the uploading themself as they can then make the appropriate declarations. Just read the documentation. I hope that helps.

Multiple editor names
Elizabeth, have you edited the encyclopedia under different names? I see that User:Bizzybriggs and User:Elizabethjim both edited the Ivor Goodson article in 2018 and have edited nothing else. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow one person to edit using multiple identities except in specific circumstances. See Sock puppetry. It could lead to you being blocked from editing and banned from creating further accounts.

This is all very sad: we have here an article on a clearly notable academic, but because one or several people over the years have tried to edit it against policy it has been hacked down to almost nothing to the extent that a perhaps careless editor proposed it for deletion as "No evidence that this academic is in any way notable". Even the fact of him editing a major journal, which is one of the crude criteria for notability for an academic (Notability (academics), known as WP:PROF), got lost along the way - it was there earlier and I've just reinstated it, with a source. Please take the trouble to learn about and abide by the policies and guidelines of this encyclopedia before trying to improve your boss's article - and then follow the rules. Thanks.

 * No, just noticed that it was there, unsourced because someone had removed a dead link rather than find the archived version. Pam  D  09:37, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
