July 2017
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "JDG Empowering Information", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organization or company rather than an individual person. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   18:50, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

This page will be for journalist author Jonathan D. Greenberg, who doesn't want to use his name for the user name. Please let me know if we need to change that.

Thanks.JDG Empowering Information (talk) 18:58, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:JDG Empowering Information/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:JDG Empowering Information/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://jonathangreenberg.com/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

JDG Empowering Information (talk) 16:38, 21 November 2017 (UTC)JDGEmpowering InformationJDG Empowering Information (talk) 16:38, 21 November 2017 (UTC) First of all, this should not have been deleted at all. I explained in the very first correspondence I got from Wiki, that this JDG Empowering Information was for Jonathan D. Greenberg, who did not want to use his real name. So by all means had permission to use his bio here to DESCRIBE & CHRONICLE: NOT PROMOTE his work! No different than the format of other Wiki pages! 2nd, as I just explained in a reply to someone else that I am a friend of Jonathan's, and I will add the "discloser/connectedcontributor" language in the post, but did not then because I thought I had saved it as draft (not for publishing approval...) to continue editing and not for any other eyes. So now perhaps you can tell me how to restore the content that was written, and so unfairly deleted. Do I just rewrite it? Not sure I'm liking this at all -- for an alleged 'public non-biased forum' this speedy deletion actions don't seem to represent such. I read through all the guidelines before I added the content. Missed one thing -- after I explained who Jonathan was in relation to the user name -- and we get deleted... Please tell me why.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, JDG Empowering Information. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:11, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

I am writing about a friend so I will add the WP:Disclose COIConnectedContributor in the posting. I thought I had only saved it as a draft, and that it had not been made public yet because I still had to go in and edit it. But will add this language per the Wiki guidelines. Thank you.

The page you created
It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account, for the simple reason that very often people come to Wikipedia and falsely claim to have copyright rights that in fact they don't have. However, even if you can produce evidence that you are the copyright owner, and do wish to release the content for free reuse under Wikipedia's licensing terms, the page would not be acceptable for a different reason, namely that it was totally promotional. A page setting out why you think the reader should be impressed with your career may be suitable for your own web site, and is certainly suitable for your résumé or CV, but it is not suitable for Wikipedia where all content needs to be written from a neutral point of view.

How do I delete this account? The one page I tried to create was deleted. So I just want to delete the whole account.

I've been searching for about an hour trying to find out how to do that, but can only find convoluted 'non-instructions' on how to change a username, in order not to lose contributions or edits. But since I have no contributions or edits, I just want to delete this whole thing. Wikipedia is the absolute worse internet user interface I've ever experienced. And the community of 'enforcers' who I've experienced are bitter and pompous. If this is the way this site is run all the time, I want no part of contributing to this. C.M. S


 * Sorry for your trouble, deleting account isn't possible on Wikipedia. But ou can go to WP:CHU/S and can request for an unidentifiable username generated by set of random characters and stating you want to vanish your account. #  1997 kB  18:39, 28 November 2017 (UTC)
