User talk:Karl smith

Hello Karl. I have just reverted your addition to the Ethnography page. I am concerned that you may be trying to use Wikipedia as a tool for self-promotion. This is explicitly prohibited in Wikipedia policies. See SOAP for more details. On the other hand, you appear to have plenty of expertise, and your non-promotional contributions to Wikipedia are, of course, welcome. DarwinPeacock (talk) 19:37, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Creating an article for Ethnographics
Yes, it sounds like potentially a good idea -- just make sure that the article you create meets the guidelines at WP:NOTE. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions or need help editing the page. DarwinPeacock (talk) 03:28, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Response to Creating an article for Ethnographics
OK, no problem, I'll pull something together from my research

linking to userspace
Hi. Please don't insert links in article space to your user page. Articles should never link to userspace, which isn't subject to the same scrutiny of the articles themselves. In your case specifically, being someone named Karl Smith doesn't make you notable; see WP:BIO. tedder (talk) 19:09, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! 220  of  Borg 13:01, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Your recent talk page comments on Talk:Internet of things were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your message may have been moved. In the future you can use the "New section" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines.  Edit in question, on 23 July 2016, is here. 220  of  Borg 13:07, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
