User talk:Jack Monck

Welcome!
Hello, Jack Monck, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jack Monck, which 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.

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.

 * An extra note - even if you are writing about yourself, you need to cite reliable sources for your contributions, otherwise this would be considered original research.


 * Hi Jack,


 * The way to get around the conflict of interest, and original research issues you've been running into is essentially to document the material elsewhere in a form that can be referenced as a reliable source by Wikipedia editors. Someyimes a plain bio on a personal website will suffice, but better is an interview or article in a reputable publication. Don't be discouraged, just work out a way of playing by the rules, which are there for very good reasons. Wwwhatsup (talk) 21:43, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Also please note that your user page is not a substitute for article space. Please see WP:USERPAGE for information on what is acceptable user page content.  If you are attempting to draft changes to the article about you, you will first need to propose them on the article talk page.  Please read the policy on autobiographical edits for more information.  331dot (talk) 10:22, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
