User talk:HarveyPrototype

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, HarveyPrototype! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! 02:26, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

re your question
Hi HarveyPrototype, in answer to your question, I noticed your edits on the Quito article, an the fact that your talk page was a 'red-link' (so probably relatively new to the project), so I thought I would welcome you :-)     14:04, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi HarveyPrototype,

In order to upload a file, just go to Upload (The link is also in the 'toolbox' section of the lefthand toolbar)

Please check the copyright of the image first, before you upload it. (See also Copyrights)

With regards to the coordinates of each campus, I think you'll find the relevant information in this article WikiProject_Geographical_coordinates, subsection 'name'

I hope this helps :-)     21:45, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi HarveyPrototype, I've left a reply to your message on my talk page --     14:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, I've had a look and I'm not quite sure what the problem is. I must admit I'm not exactly an expert on images or the rules governing 'fair use' and copyrights. It may be a good idea to ask at Help desk to get some additional help from editors who are more clued up on this.

Meanwhile I'll do what I can to help. I'll keep you informed of my progress :-)     14:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Userbox
Hi HarveyPrototype, I've left a reply to your message on my talk page --     21:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

I've created a subpage with a basic userbox here and placed a userbox on your userpage.

It will start you off in the right direction, feel free to play with it an experiment, until you like it :-)     21:42, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello @Marek69
 * You've helped me in the past starting me off with useboxes. Could you point me in the right direction towards creating a template?
 * I came across this template.


 * And I want to do the same for Universities in Ecuador.

Nomination of Universidad Del Pacífico – Ecuador for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Universidad Del Pacífico – Ecuador is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Universidad Del Pacífico – Ecuador until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. Allan Nonymous (talk) 13:13, 29 April 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, HarveyPrototype. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Universidad Del Pacífico – Ecuador, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Allan Nonymous (talk) 18:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)


 * I have scoured the different COI forums, and have yet to find a forum that states that writing an article as an Alumnus of a University is condiered a COI. As an Alumnus I recieve the Alumni news letter and therefore recieve information which may be pertinant to the article.
 * Neither the current guidelines Conflict of interest nor the current discussion Wikipedia talk:Conflict of interest which sumarizes conflict of interest to the following:
 * To preserve the integrity, neutrality, and public trust in Wikipedia, it is crucial to effectively manage conflicts of interest among editors. A conflict of interest arises when an editor's personal or financial connections might compromise the objectivity of their contributions. This policy outlines the types of conflicts and specifies the conduct required for editors who may be affected by them.
 * ===Financial Conflict of Interest===
 * An editor has a financial conflict of interest when they stand to gain, or can reasonably be expected to gain, financial benefits from the coverage of a topic on Wikipedia. This conflict arises in various forms:
 * Direct Financial Benefits: These include receiving direct payment for editing Wikipedia articles
 * Indirect Financial Benefits: Such benefits are not as overt as direct payments but are significant. Examples include:
 * Business Exposure: Gaining from increased visibility when a product, service, or company is featured in an article.
 * Reputation Enhancement: Benefiting indirectly from an enhanced reputation due to having a personal article on Wikipedia or being cited as a source in one. This can lead to increased professional opportunities, such as book sales, speaking engagements, or consultancy work.
 * ===Non-financial Conflict of Interest===
 * An editor has a non-financial conflict of interest when their personal or professional connections may compromise their ability to present a subject objectively. This type of conflict arises in various forms:
 * Personal Relationships: Editing articles about friends, colleagues, family members, romantic partners, or personal adversaries can lead to biased content, whether overly favorable or unduly negative.
 * Professional Connections: Editing articles related to one's employer or competitors in the industry can introduce biases that may either unfairly promote one’s own organization or undermine others.
 * Political and Ideological Beliefs: Editing articles that cover political or religious movements in which an individual holds an active role. It is important to note that simply being a supporter or member of such movements does not constitute a conflict of interest. For example, a member of the Democratic Party does not inherently have a conflict of interest when editing articles related to the party unless they hold an official role within it.
 * ===Managing Conflicts===
 * Editors with a Financial Conflict: Must not directly edit affected articles. Instead, they should propose changes using the Edit COI template, disclosing the nature of their conflict on their user page and in any location they discuss the topic.
 * Editors with Non-financial Conflicts: While not strictly forbidden from directly editing affected articles, they must disclose their conflict in the edit summary and in any location they discuss the topic.
 * No exceptions exist to this policy; edits made in violation of it are indefensible, regardless of their perceived harmlessness or quality. Editors who wish to avoid disclosing their conflict of interest may do so only be avoiding topics affected by it.
 * May I suggest you take a look at the following article Don't cry COI HarveyPrototype (talk) 20:45, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

April 2024
It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence User talk:James500. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. If you have questions about article sourcing, I would suggest WP:Teahouse for advice, calling in unrelated editors is frowned upon. Allan Nonymous (talk) 23:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank your for the information the reason that I have messaged is because he has explicitly mentioned the behaviour which I am experiencing on your talk page. Therefore I am requesting assistance as to how to handle said behavior. HarveyPrototype (talk) 23:54, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @User:Allan Nonymous: A good faith question about whether behaviour falls within the scope of WP:HOUND is not canvassing. It is not canvassing to ask for advice in good faith. As far as I can see, there is no community discussion presently taking place about whether your behaviour was within the scope of WP:HOUND. I cannot be canvassed to !vote in a community discussion that does not exist. James500 (talk) 18:06, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank your James500. I'm still unclear as to ¿what procedure I should follow? From the response I understand that the comments on the talk page were not considered WP:HOUND given the situation. If I do feel that my actions on the Colegio Menor San Francisco de Quito (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colegio_Menor_San_Francisco_de_Quito) led to hounding on other entries.
 * What are my options? or what procedures should I follow? HarveyPrototype (talk) 22:20, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Dear ,

Let me begin by apologizing if I am in fact canvassing however I am requesting that you get involved as on Allan Nonymous talk page you have already expressed your criteria on articles marked for deletion.

I am writing to address some concerns I have regarding the actions taken by editor Allan Nonymous, specifically in relation to their handling of deletion nominations and article maintenance.

On April 28, 2024, I encountered a page marked for deletion by Allan Nonymous due to lack of citations: Colegio Menor San Francisco de Quito (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colegio_Menor_San_Francisco_de_Quito). In response, I took the initiative to add citations to the article and subsequently removed the deletion template. The page has since been merged. However, upon returning to Wikipedia, I discovered that articles I have contributed to, specifically the pages for Sonia Roca and Universidad Del Pacífico – Ecuador, have been flagged for issues.

The Sonia Roca page was marked for notability, despite the fact that the template regarding notability was lifted in 2022. Additionally, the Universidad Del Pacífico – Ecuador page was marked for deletion because the English page's translation was deleted on Wikipedia.es. While it is true that the Spanish version of the page was deleted, it seems that this decision was based on different criteria than those used on the English Wikipedia. Moreover, my attempts to contribute to the Spanish version of the page resulted in my being blocked on Wikipedia.es.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
