User talk:Jameskrehan

Welcome!
Hello, Jameskrehan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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! Dawnseeker2000  14:14, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did to Starwisp, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ''Stop writing about yourself.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. —S MALL JIM   16:13, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

My editing to the Wikipedia article “Solar Sail” was not linked to any advertising or spam. Any presumed advertising or spam in any of my former edits was unintentional on my part. Please remove the block.


 * If I were to lift the block, what contributions would you make? —S MALL  JIM   16:47, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

To Smalljim from James Krehan - I would make informed contributions to Wikipedia. I am a researcher and an author.

I would like to inform you and Wikipedia that I shall be seeking legal advice about your accusation that my sole purpose in editing is to advertise or spam. This is a presumption you should not have made. I would also add that in a democracy it is usual to give people a warning before you block them.

James Krehan.

To jpgordon from J. Krehan. Then Wikipedia has more shortcomings than I thought!

Wikipedia is not a democracy - honesty is the best policy even if it condemns you to everlasting ridicule!
