User talk:Jonathan Vigliotti

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Jonathan Vigliotti, 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.&#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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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

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.

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Jonathan Vigliotti, from its old location at User:Jonathan Vigliotti/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae  /tlk  15:52, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello and apologies
Hello, I'm Waggie from the IRC help chat channel this morning. I first want to apologize that your experience in our Wikipedia help channel today wasn't as pleasant or helpful as it really should be. I want to offer a little more information about Wikipedia in general, and specifically "notability" per Wikipedia guidelines. Firstly, Wikipedia is made up almost entirely of volunteers. All editors, admins, and helpers are volunteers and donate their time and efforts to help Wikipedia succeed. As such, there are many different temperaments and personalities at work here, so please understand that your experience this morning is not entirely representative of Wikipedia as a whole. Secondly, I want to help you understand a little better about "notability" per Wikipedia guidelines. As an encyclopedia, we cannot simply have an article about everyone and everything, thus we have established guidelines and policies to help us determine what is acceptable or not. These guidelines and policies are somewhat complex due to the fact that we have to cover so much subject area. Your brother seems to fall into a little bit of a gray area with regard to notability for persons. Complicating matters is that we are fairly strict regarding biographies of living people for a wide variety of reasons. I want to point you at WP:Notability_(people) (your brother probably falls under the "Creative Professionals" section and then WP:GNG for some general information about Wikipedia's guidelines regarding notability. Regarding sources, please see WP:RS for more information.

Best wishes to you and your brother. Please let me know if you have any questions. Chrisw80 (talk) 05:44, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
