User talk:Jonbaron1944

Welcome!
Hello, Jonbaron1944, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jonathan Baron, 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.)

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:

 * 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! —C.Fred (talk) 17:49, 30 November 2022 (UTC)


 * In fact I am not new to Wikipedia. Several years ago I did some editing of psychology pages, as well as my own page. The rules about conflict of interest were not invoked then, if they existed. If you want to revert to the old version because I have violated the rule, feel free.
 * I made the following changes: fixed some errors in URLs; removed a couple of URLs to course outlines that no longer existed and the associated text (because I assumed that you would not want the text about who used my book in classes without links to the outlines); removed the Miller from my name, which is not in my academic name (although it is my legal name); and added Hal Pashler and Jane Beattie to the very short selection of grad students. (This is pretty arbitrary, as there are many more.) Hal is at least as eminent as Haidt, and, to be honest, I take considerable pride in him having been a student. Haidt should probably not even be there, but I didn't want to remove him. (I don't know who put him there.) I was a co-advisor, not a full advisor, and he was, and is, much more influenced by the other advisor, Alan Fiske. I guess you removed Jane Beattie because she does not have a Wikipedia page. She died (in 1997, age 36) before someone made one. Her death was such a great loss to the field that there are now three different awards named "The Jane Beattie memorial award", or words to that effect. At the time of her death she was also my closest collaborator. If I had to list only one student, she would be the one.
 * If I wanted to toot my own horn, I would have added that I an also a fellow of the Society of Experimental Psychologists (a very exclusive, self-perpetuating, club). But I thought it was not my role to do that. Pashler is also a fellow.
