User talk:Hmoisl

May 2018
Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Hermann Moisl, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Hmoisl, 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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. Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:48, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Recent edit of a living person page: Hermann Moisl
Hi I recently edited the living person page for Hermann Moisl. I am that person. I wasn't aware that this page existed or who constructed it, but having read through it I found several inaccuracies, and in general the page could be better and more economically constructed. Thus the edit; I didn't have time to insert the links at the time, and planned to do that today.

The Wikipedia policy on living persons seems entirely sensible. However, I'm at a loss with respect to citable sources for my biography; the most accurate source is me. Details of publications are, of course, in the public domain.

I would like to replace the existing page with the one I submitted (with relevant links added). If that's not possible, could you remove the existing page from Wikipedia? Thanks.

 * I am just a lowly editor of Wikipedia. Being a wp:volunteer, I'm not always around. I don't have wp:administrator rights to delete a page.
 * To delete such a page, one needs to go through the procedures set by policy wp:Deletion policy. At this stage of the game one first does a "proposed deletion" aka "prod" then a "article for discussion" or wp:AfD.
 * Your edits are saved in the wp:page history. You can undo them. Likely another editor will undo your edits fairly quickly. My recommendation is to change one section at a time, then save it with a good wp:edit summary explaining your reasoning.
 * See wp:referencing for beginners and help:footnotes. wp:RefToolbar/2.0 is an easy way to add a citation / reference. It's available at the top of the Wiki editor. Click "Cite", then "Template" and select the type of reference you wish to add.
 * Questions? I recommend asking at the wp:teahouse
 * Hope this helps. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:34, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
