User talk:Linc jean-marie

Welcome!

Hello, Linc jean-marie, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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: 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! --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:27, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Additional information
I have previously provided you with this information under another account using your name. I'll repeat it here in case you have lost access to that account: "Please note that I have reverted your additions to Lincoln Jean-Marie as the material contradicted many Wikipedia policies and guidelines. All information added to articles must be verifiable - this is achieved by the use of reliable sources so readers can view the source material for the claims. Adding information based on your own personal knowledge is not verifiable and is considered original research. In addition, all content must be neutral, unpromotional in nature, and written in an encyclopedic tone. Finally, Wikipedia generally discourages subjects from editing their own articles due to the inherent conflict of interest in doing so; it is more appropriate to suggest changes on the article talk page and request that an uninvolved editor review and make the changes if they are appropriate. You can read more about autobiographies and Wikipedia at Autobiography. Thank you,"--Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:27, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Please do not continue to add your full name at each instance of your name being used. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style which covers how each article should look. Per this guideline only the surname is used after the intial use of an individual's full name in the lead. Also, we do not include the names of relatives that do not independently meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Even if the notability guidelines were met the material would need a reliable source to be included. As noted above, it is preferred that article subjects use the article talk page to request changes and updates. This page provides a wealth of information for biography subjects. --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:58, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
