User talk:Jimnanderson

January 2022
Hello Jimnanderson. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Jim Anderson (sound engineer), gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Jimnanderson. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Magnolia677 (talk) 20:47, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am editing my own information on my page and there is no compensation. You are mistaken. I am hoping to update old information without independent corrections. Thank you for your attention. J. Anderson
 * You are in a conflict of interest; please take a moment to read the COI guidelines. I strongly recommend you stop editing this article, and make suggestions for changes on the article's talk page. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:36, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Why Can I Not edit or correct my own personal information on my own page? This makes no sense and your changes are incorrect. I should be alb to correct my own page and my own information. I wrote this page in the first place and it needs to be updated.

For example your including of this link https://www.aes.org/students/?option=com_content&task=view&id=124 has nothing to do with me! See final link #7

How can it be a conflict of interest, when it's in my interest to have information about me be correct?

Also, your edits are incorrect: Look at first sentence. I did not work at radio station when at college. I started after graduation, which I've tried to correct and you keep changing back to incorrect status.

All of your changes https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jim_Anderson_(sound_engineer)&oldid=prev&diff=1063413574 are incorrect. My changes on the left in blue are correct. Why do you keep having to change back to misinformation? Who is to gain? Who is your supervisor?

I have 28 grammy nominations not 27. Do you have any? If you did, you'd like to have that information be correct, wouldn't you, Magnolia677? Or shall I call you Magnolia 678? that's misinformation, isn't it?


 * Conflicts of Interest can be positive. Editing an article where you are the subject matter is not allowed per WP:COISELF. Padgriffin  Griffin's Nest 02:10, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Jimnanderson, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed 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.&#32;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 another 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 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * Tutorial

 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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! The SandDoctor Talk 23:10, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
