User talk:Loraxinthneed

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

I noticed 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.&#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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * 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. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

 * Dear Jimfbleak,
 * thanks so much for your feedback! Indeed I am new and that's why I had submitted the page as a draft for review (following the suggested process). I think the reason for rejection was wrong though. I am a PhD student in the field of neuromodulation that very much enjoys the work of Dr. Horn & his podcast and have asked him for his CV to submit a wikipedia page.
 * I totally understand in case his work is not deemed important enough but it was not a vanity article.
 * While writing it, I realized that Dr. Hagai Bergman from Israel also doesn't have a wikipedia page. His work has been very influential and paved the way for deep brain stimulation which has helped ~200k patients with Parkinsons Disease, world-wide.
 * However, after the current experience, I am unsure whether it may be worth the effort to ask him for his CV and write a page about him, as well.
 * Do you have an opinion on this? I believe scientists are generally underrepresented on wikipedia (opposed to e.g. musicians or movie stars) which is the main reason I came on board. But of course, I will abide to policy etc.
 * Thanks so much for your assessment!

 * Hi Jimfbleak,
 * thanks again for your help on this and looking forward to your thoughts on Hagai Bergman.
 * I have now also taken a deeper dive into the notability page you listed (and the Notability (academics) page which I assume applies here). In my view, Dr. Horn would satisfy both criterion 1 and 2 listed there. For the first, I had added the link to the ＞1000 papers from across the globe that were empowered by his toolbox Lead-DBS before (http://lead-dbs.org/about/publications/). For the second, I had referred to the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis, which is the highest scientific honor for early career scientists in Germany. It is of course totally fine to keep the page deleted since you are the expert here. I am mainly trying to learn to sharp my senses on whom I should write pages for and whom rather not.
 * Thanks so much!
