User talk:Krmetheny

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Mike Beltran, 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:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide

 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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.

Help?
Hi Drmies, Thanks for the intro! I was hoping to get some feedback on my Mike Beltran contribution. I've compiled a comprehensive list of articles that mention him, and he asked me to update his wikipedia page (no compensation, I'm simply interested in politics). How can I update the page in a more neutral way so that any contributions I make won't get taken down? Even parts I did not author, including the 2019 session and parts of his biography have been removed. I don't want to be biased, I want to be thorough. How can I do this and modify my contribution?

 * Hello Krmetheny, whether you get compensation or not isn't really relevant; either way, please see WP:DECLARE. The previous material (which was unverified and unacceptable) was aided by a (former?) aid of Beltran's, as Google can show you in ten seconds. You will have to write the material in a more neutral way. I am sure that, if you look at it again, material like "Rep. Beltran is an active member of his community, constantly listening to and accurately representing his constituents" will strike you as promotional and completely unencyclopedic. Or that he "notably" took a stand against certain measures--for a FL-R that's par for the course. The more general problem with your and your predecessor's edits was that, and this is quite common for legislators, the subject is given credit for work done by an entire organizational body. That someone sponsors a bill is nothing worth noting, unless secondary sources comment on it, but you added only primary links for those bills, and that is just like composing a resume. In short: start with secondary sources, and build from that. Not the other way around. Good luck. Plz ask him to protect the Alafia river--not for industry and tourism, but for itself. Thanks.

 * BTW, no need to email me. Thanks. Drmies (talk) 01:01, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Would you be willing to look at a second draft I've come up with? And if so, what is the best way to show this draft? Thanks :) Krmetheny (talk) 22:48, 2 July 2020 (UTC) I made some wording changes and added another source. I added additional credit for the sponsorship of HB 5301, and reworded the "expressed interest" section (that was a little silly on my part). I'm sorry you can't see the Pensacola Newspaper, not much I can do about that. Any further suggestions? I was wondering if I should include committee assignments for the 2020 session?

 * I see only things that were done by many, not by this one. I can't see the Pensacola newspaper articles, but there also the text is hardly strong: "he expressed interest". In article space, I wouldn't let that stand, sorry. Drmies (talk) 14:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
