User talk:Fcleetus

The article Francis Cleetus has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Veinor (talk to me) 14:39, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello, Fcleetus. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.
 * While it's not strictly against the rules to add and edit pages about yourself and things you're involved in, I really really want to ask that you not do this. The thing is, it looks bad to many people and there's a huge conflict of interest. When you add/edit things you're involved in, it's easy to slip in things that aren't encyclopedic or neutral without ever really noticing, as well as seeing notability where it might not otherwise be. No, I'm not saying that anything you've added isn't notable, just that this is one of the issues that predominantly comes up. Adding pages about yourself or things that you've done can also be seen as self-promotion, so I really encourage you to go through the WikiProject for webcomics or through the main WP for comics in general. WikiProject Comics/Webcomics work group It's a sizable group overall, so you shouldn't have any problem finding people to help you out and add things on your behalf. This will get rid of any conflict of interest and help keep people from assuming that you're just here to promote yourself. (Sorry, but 99.9% of the people coming on here to add and edit pages about themselves and things they're involved in are people coming on to spam Wikipedia in an attempt to advertise, so every user with even the slightest COI is painted with this brush, whether they deserve it or not.) Believe me, no matter how neutral your edits are, they'll always be viewed with suspicion and the assumption that it's all for the sake of self-promotion and advertising. I highly, highly recommend that you go through one of the editors in the webcomic or comic WP.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:54, 7 June 2012 (UTC)


 * On a side note, you might want to merge your newer article (Wish Your Mouth had a Backspace Key) with the main article for the actual webcomic. Both pages use the same sources and the sources predominantly focus on the webcomic as a whole rather than the individual volume, so it'd be better to have one article that uses these sources than two articles that aren't really needed. I'm going to propose that this be redirected to the main article, but if I have to then I'll start a deletion discussion for the volume.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:57, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion
Please do not add self-promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Webcomic. See WP:NOTPROMOTION. Thank you. Rangoondispenser (talk) 01:06, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
