Your submission at Articles for creation


I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Majid Jafar. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's an example of how to add references: Chzz is 98 years old.&lt;ref> "The book of Chzz", Aardvark Books, 2009. &lt;/ref>

He likes tea.&lt;ref> Smith, John. " Interview with Chzz", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22.

== References ==

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put at the end of this page, followed by a question.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rupert Lee-Browne


A tag has been placed on Rupert Lee-Browne, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion.

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 deleted 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.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jamesmaharrison. 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. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:29, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest
Hi Jamesmaharrison, thanks for your new article about Caxton FX and your edits about one of its founders. left a message regarding a possible conflict of interest. I do agree with him that there are strong indications of conflicted editing. A response would be much appreciated. I shall also move the Caxton article to draft because a) it does not conform to wikipedia standards as it is written, b) it does not have sufficient sources and c) to allow for independent oversight re. the potential conflict. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 09:35, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Caxton FX moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Caxton FX, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 09:35, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation
pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 10:40, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello Jake Brockman

I am not sure why you keep deleting all my posts and now have questioned my authenticity - as you will see I have responded to your accusations! In addition, it is hard to learn how to do this better if you do not ever give me the chance to amend the pages so "you" are happy with them? Is there a way we can work together to help me write pages in a way that are not immediately deleted by you? I want to learn how it's done and have been following the guidelines but for some reason you still delete them. As the expert I - and from what I can see on your profile others too - am asking for your help and guidance and not just a link to an article that I have read and then delete my content regardless - please provide helpful feedback for me and others. I really look forward to hearing from you. Jamesmaharrison (talk) 15:03, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your statement in the investigation about sockpuppetry I have opened. An administrator will review behavioural and technical evidence, such as non-public IP logs, to make a determination on the use of multiple accounts.
 * The more concerning question, which you have not responded to yet and which has been raised by several people, is if you are connected or received payment from the subject - directly or indirectly. There is an overwhelming case to be made from public sources that you act in a capacity of social media or marketing manager for Caxton. If this is a case, you are in direct violation of Wikipedia's terms and conditions. I am not going to publicly post the evidence - however - a public search for combinations of your username, the company name Caxton and approximations of a clear name derived from the username lead very quickly to a marketing agency, one of its directors and a twitter account of that person, from which posts about Caxton have been made. Other sources connect this marketing agency and Caxton. Your claims of being a "learner" are not credible, if you are, I will certainly not assist commercial editing efforts. Previous pages have rightly been deleted. Not by me, btw, but by volunteer administrators of Wikipedia after reviewing various sources. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:22, 7 May 2019 (UTC)


 * thanks for the clarification - yes I work for a marketing agency that has a relationship with Caxton so I will stop immediately trying to get this published. It was an honest oversight as having read the rules I didn't realize that if you have an association with the company or subject you are not allowed to write something - even if it is objective. I thought it was the Objectivity that was key? Please don't take this the wrong way and I don't want to sound like an argumentative arse, I am honestly looking for guidance to feedback, but if we don't start the page and open it up for others to edit and amend - how is a page supposed to appear? is Caxton allowed to write their own? Other pages I have written I have done in my spare time and with no association but was just looking to get this started? do you have any thoughts on this? thank in advance fro you help


 * Thanks for this. Paid editing does not per-se exclude you from participating in Wikipedia. Your are correct in your assumption that one of the reasons why those policies are in place is to ensure that articles are written from a neutral point of view. If you have a conflict - even if you are not editing an article as part of a direct client assignment or pitch or whatever - you may be subconsciously biased. Hence the disclosure requirement. You are welcome to edit in accordance with policy if you follow the disclosure process (see WP:PAID) and clearly state on your user page and on the article's talk page that you have a conflict and what your relationship is. You may suggest new articles via AfC (which is where the Caxton article is now). You may suggest changes to be made to existing main space articles by posting the suggested change on their talk pages. Do not edit the article about Lee-Browne directly.
 * This aside, the Wikipedia community is very active in certain areas. Finance is one of them. I would normally expect unrelated editors to create articles about people and companies if they are noteworthy. This may be my humble opinions, however in all the installments of the Caxton article I have not seen any indication of notability. They may be notable, however, this needs to be supported by WP:SOURCES. I refer to WP:ORGCRIT as "checklist" for notability. In a nutshell, mere existence of a company is not sufficient. Media coverage that is in the form of "business as usual coverage" is not sufficient (e.g. company is FCA registered - that's a given; company launches new product - all companies launch new products from time to time; interview with CEO - not neutral/PR; news about investment rounds - investments are a given; executives talking about topical points - again a given as part of their job and probably elaborate PR). What ORGCRIT looks for is essentially significant and sustained independent editorial coverage in notable sources. For example, an FT editor analysing their annual report. Editorial in the Guardian that discusses the company in a boarder context (though more than a mention in passing as part of a list of companies), etc. Republished press-releases are insufficient.
 * If you want to get this article over the line, add more editorial coverage that goes beyond PR and business-as-usual, make sure every statement is supported by independent coverage and show it. Remove puffery (being the first regulated under a new regulation is puffery. That's not a noteworthy achievement, it just means they submitted their paperwork at the right time and correctly).
 * Given the scope of the editing and in light of your partial disclosure, I will bring the Lee-Browne and Caxton articles to the attention of the conflict of interest noticeboard for community input. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 08:02, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

I am just trying to log in from home - i wanted to see if i could log in under a different account or if i had been blocked for no apparent reason  - i was trying to use another account and that was blocked. please up block me

331dot thanks for getting back to me - To answer your question, I wanted to add information on a number of the open banking and neo bank solutions as well as the global regulatory bodies. I am often asked for information about the regulators and different types of licences companies can apply for. Also it is important for the public to be aware that some of the best known providers have a more complex regulatory framework that should be more within the public domain!

Some of the information on the Wiki pages is unclear and I would like to add to help clear it up as best i can. I also want to comment on some of the related banking technology pages and how the technology is evolving using the citations and well with in the Wikipedia policy. I don't have any conflict of interest.[[WP:COI|conflict of interest]

There are also a number of amazing people beyond Finance - I have recently spoken to who have done great things in the philanthropic space that I believe people should know about.

Finally I am also keen to update and increase my own status on Wikipedia as I don't like that I have been labelled in this way and would be really grateful is you can help and provide some tips and guidance on how to improve my current status. I love Wikipedia and have been a huge supporter and advocate over the last decade and want to do more as I have some time to do so. Jamesmaharrison (talk) 09:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

talk I would have thought that having the experience in the industry makes me more insightful - sorry to be a pain but can you explain how that gives me a conflict of interest. Surely Wikipedia wants people who know what they are talking about adding content rather than people who are adding incorrect info. Similar to yourself, you are an expert in moderating the site - and clearly have been doing so very well for several years - I don't see that as a conflict of interest when dealing with issues? I would be very happy to work with you to ensure that you see no conflicts - I am trying to be as transparent as possible - Perhaps with your direction this can be the last time this sort of issues arises for me? I am asking for your help Jamesmaharrison (talk) 10:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

 * HI There - i still seem to be blocked? is there anything i can do to expedite this? Jamesmaharrison (talk) 09:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed |1=Hello despite a number of conversations with different admins my account is still blocked. The original block was put in place by @Sir Sputnik. As you will see in the above conversations I am well aware of the parameters to make contributions despite my previous error that got me blocked. I have been clear on what I am doing and it would be great to get my account un blocked so i can continue to Contribute in the right way! I look forward to a speedy resolution Jamesmaharrison (talk) 10:18, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Help un block me
It would be great to get my account unblocked a it seems that I am not getting any response right now - can you help or shed some light on the delay (talk) Jamesmaharrison (talk) 11:10, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Regarding your email, so long as you have access to this page please keep your unblock requests public. I have provided the feedback Deepfriedokra was asking for elsewhere. Procedural issues like the one above notwithstanding, I will, as a general rule, not evaluate requests to lift blocks that I have placed myself, given that one of the main purposes of that process is to allow for review by a different administrator. Finally, given that you are still proposing to write about subjects where you have a clear conflict of interest, I don't realistically see you being unblocked any time soon.

(talk) thank you for you response. However i am not trying to write about anything that i have been blocked for, I have been clear and open about what I want to contribute to - philanthropy, sports, history and setting up a page for my grand father.

In addition in wrote to you direct as I have posted several times asking for help and direction with no response - how am i able to expedite this? Jamesmaharrison (talk) 10:28, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

If you want to get unblocked, you're going about it in exactly the wrong way. First, you'll have a very hard time finding an administrator who will allow you to create a page about a family member under these circumstances. You're far more likely to get another chance from an admin if you agree *not* to do that. You announce that you're suddenly fluent in guidelines, but the paragraph right before is a good indication that you're *not* well-versed about WP:COI.

You're asking for an unblock, which requires an admin to trust you. Instead, you throw out insults. Sir Sputnik was very clear about the problem in your last declined unblock request, yet you seem to have completely ignored the substance of what he told you both in terms of policy and that someone else would have to review the request. And then you threw out a link to a Reddit page from a year ago in which a handful of people made unsubstantiated accusations about Wikipedia admins. Your actions are simply making it less likely any admin will trust you.

If you're actually frustrated you can't post, then you'd best be served by acting in a manner that is more likely to result in you posting again. Acknowledge that you won't attempt to create a page about a family member. Indicate what edits you like to make that serve the interest of making a quality encyclopedia, not your personal ones. Strikethrough the insults targeting admins and refrain from making more. Many people have gotten second or third chances for actions far worse than anything you did, but at some point, they all had to make the case that they would be a net positive for the encyclopedia. If you actually do that, you'll find admins are quite willing to give chances, sometimes to a fault.

If you continue to make tenuous unblock requests, the most likely result is that someone removes your talk page access. This would not be beneficial for you because once you can only make WP:UTRS requests and not be able to participate extensively in discussion, the chances of you ever being unblocked go down.
