Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, JakeHanrahan. 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 conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * 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. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 21:34, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The above is a bit of boilerplate (worth a read), but here is my situational message. I see you've posted about the deletion of your page. The comments have been formatted to match out style. I have a few notes:
 * The possible deletion of your article regards our notability policy. We don't write about everyone, only those who have been the subject of multiple reliable sources.
 * For better or worse, the fact that you are the subject means people will take your word with a grain of salt. Don't try to argue with people, thats a bad look
 * If you want your article preserved, the best thing you can do is help to show notability. The best way to do that is to link reliable sources, which are also independent of you. So, don't use any of the companies you've worked for, find coverage of you from other news organizations. Also, your own websites don't count towards notability either.
 * DO NOT edit your article directly. Anything you'd want changed needs to be proposed on the talk page of the article. Directly editing an article about yourself is seen as a big red flag. CaptainEek  Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 21:43, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Hey ! Loved your recent appearance on War College. I highly recommend carefully reading CaptainEek's advice. For what you can personally do, think about #3--if you have ever been mentioned in the news yourself, that would be very useful to make a case for the deletion review. Best of luck, and thanks for the super-interesting reporting. Jlevi (talk) 21:56, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jake Hanrahan has been reverted. Your edit here to Jake Hanrahan was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2b-h1nbBck) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. music or video) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:37, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
