User talk:Jgoldwiki

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Writing about yourself is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians.

As this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them. A page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to or change it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:


 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Guidance for article subjects

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! KylieTastic (talk) 18:46, 12 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Kylie— I believe my bio meets the standards of Wiki. Among other things, I was the first person to ever melt a diamond (proving many theories about diamonds incorrect). This is published (and referenced) in the highly respected journal Science. Thanks, Jon Jgoldwiki (talk) 19:00, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * All new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). You have an article written by yourself (also see WP:COI), your own website and youtube channel. So no independent reliable sources. KylieTastic (talk) 19:13, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * The referenced journal “Science” is undoubtably one of the most prestigious journals on the planet. Jgoldwiki (talk) 19:23, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I did not realize that Wiki has no problem taking my donations, but will not accept an article from me. Jgoldwiki (talk) 19:25, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree Science is a reliable sources and using the content of your article accepted by them is notable and would be considered a reliable source for the content. However firstly it is only used to sources part, secondly I would thing the other authors may reject the framing that you personally were the "first person to melt a diamond", thirdly the actual article is more reasonable in the actual claim "To our knowledge, this is the first time that experimental evidence has been produced to show melting of carbon at high pressure when diamond is used as the starting material". When some kid writes about themselves being notable on the world biggest encyclopedia it's annoying but I get it, but for a scientist that understands evidence and what is expected to write a science paper to think that donating to Wikipedia means you can just write about yourself I can't begin to understand. Did Science publish your article because you paid for a subscription or because it was a decent scientific paper? Everything else apart from the exaggerated claim of definitively "being the first person to melt a diamond" is either unsourced, or has a primary source. There are no independent sources for most of the content. That does not mean you are not notable, just that the article lacks sources to show it. If your jazz work is recognised and with being a visiting professor you may well be, but just as is expected in academia we require references not "I donated". For instance I just looked and found https://latinjazznet.com/reviews/albums/jon-gold-bossa-of-possibility/ and https://jazztimes.com/reviews/albums/jon-gold-bossa-of-possibility/ so clearly some sources do exist. KylieTastic (talk) 20:53, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You missed my point completely re donations. Your policy of self-authored contributions is ridiculous. I have many less well-known colleagues who have successfully used paid services to submit (which is ridiculous). Please don’t tell me it’s a violation as it is rampant….I am indeed the first person to melt a diamond . I was a grad student at the time and faculty have the “right” to name themselves as co-authors even if they did nothing. Here is an account in the NYT (which I hope you find a reputable source): https://www.nytimes.com/1984/09/11/science/science-watch-oops-a-diamond-is-melted-for-first-time.html Jgoldwiki (talk) 21:03, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * If you have colleagues who have paid for articles that just reflects badly on them and on you if you think that's OK or justifies writing unsourced content... I have no words. You claim to have been a teaching visiting professor (claim as was unsourced), would you accept your students using such arguments? If your students made claims with no evidence or sources and just claimed things but stated other students did "worse" things was that OK? Yes, the NY Times is an excellent source, what I don't understand is how as a scientist and professor you don't understand that we require you to actually use such sources in the article. If such sources exist, use them! Although WP:COI states "COI editing is strongly discouraged" it is still a valid option, but this is not a blog or social media you can not just write anything you want without sources. Treat Wikipedia like an encyclopedia, treat it like writing a scientific paper, if you only write things backed by independent sources and reference them you may well be "notable". KylieTastic (talk) 21:38, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You are both incredibly naive and uninformed. Writing/submitting for Wiki is a huge industry. I would have hoped more from editors at Wiki. But alas the standards have fallen. I receive numerous speaking/interview requests about my melting of diamond and have enjoyed enormous success as a musician. I don't "need" to be on Wiki -- a student at the University I taught at interviewed me for a class and this was the result. It seemed worthwhile to submit. Jgoldwiki (talk) 21:52, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Jgoldwiki. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created User:Jgoldwiki has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject  and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people. Please see Common sourcing mistakes (notability). The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is  here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can seek help IRC chat, as well as WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

User pages and User talk pages are intended only to assist collegiality among users. They are not to be used as a soapbox for writings not connected with the editorial process on Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and Nor are user pages intended to host articles, CV's/resumés or lengthy autobiographies. Wikipedia is not a promotional venue or a place to post ads. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia ~ subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information. For article creation, Please use WP:AfC and/or request help at the WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. You can also seek help via IRC chat.
