User talk:Lev Rabchevski

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; 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! MPS1992 (talk) 08:08, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Think tank
Hello Lev Rabchevski, please do not copypaste PR statements from the organizations' own websites into Wikipedia. Content should be phrased in your own words and not plagiarize or outright copy external sources. Aside from the plagiarism concern, several of these promotional summaries violated WP:NPOV regarding a neutral point of view. Secondly, please read WP:CSC regarding lists: lists should focus on notable entries and must be based on independent 3rd-party sources, not merely on the organisations' own self-published websites. Generally, Wikipedia is not supposed to host complete lists of blogs or minor organizations (WP:NOTDIRECTORY), unless these sites have been covered in independent reliable sources.

I have removed the recent additions, but of course information can be re-added as long as it is based on independent reliable sources and does not violate other content guidelines about neutral language and copyright. Please use the article's talkpage Talk:Think tank if you can provide independent sources and would like to discuss specific article-related issues. I hope these tips are helpful, but please feel free to ask me if you have any further questions. I recommend to read some of the basic information linked in the "Welcome" message above. You can also ask for advice at WP:Teahouse, a forum for new editors. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 05:01, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
