User talk:Jeevandsouza007

Welcome!
Hello, Jeevandsouza007, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Altruism (ethics), 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. 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! RL0919 (talk) 21:31, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello RL0919. Thanks for your warm welcome. I just wanted to add the following to the "As consequentialist ethics" section of the Altruism (ethics) page:

Self-actualized people are mostly fulfilled and spend considerable amount of time performing altruistic deeds since their personal needs are met. In this case, the utilitarian value is high since societal happiness is maximized at very little cost to the actor.

Please let me know if this is okay and makes sense. Thanks Jeevandsouza007 (talk) 22:22, 7 November 2013 (UTC)


 * That would require a reliable source; then it's good. Otherwise it would be considered original research, which we should not engage in. See WP:Referencing for beginners on how to easily cite sources. Huon (talk) 01:03, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
