User talk:James Goldberg

Welcome!

Hello, James Goldberg, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! KarlB (talk) 21:11, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi James, I've seen some of your additions to medical tourism. Two things to take note of - first, if you put an excessive amount of links and information from your book, this could be seen as advertising/spam. I know that is not your intent, I just want to advise you to be careful in this. Secondly, a number of your recent edits seem to take a tone of "you better do this" or "providers should look out for that" - in general that sort of tone is not used in the encyclopedia, it is better to attempt to use a neutral tone and address all sides of an issue. Thus, while of course your book can take a point of view and express strong opinions, it is better to leave that sort of thing out of wikipedia. Thanks and welcome to wikipedia, and let me or other editors know if you want more advice and direction, especially on editing articles related to your book. --KarlB (talk) 21:13, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
