User talk:Medget2

Welcome!
Hello, Medget2, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jeff Lindsay (engineer), 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 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 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:

 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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! 220  of  Borg 10:18, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Fringe Theories Noticeboard discussion
Hello, Medget2. This message is being sent to inform you that a discussion is taking place at Fringe theories/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The discussion is about the topic Jeff Lindsay (engineer). Thank you. See Fringe theories/Noticeboard --220  of  Borg 10:29, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

OK, I understand I should not edit pages where I am not neutral. Regarding the page on Jeff, one issue that might be useful on the Wiki page is the 2015 announcement from Intellectual Asset Management magazine, a leading publication for the intellectual property profession, that Jeffrey Dean Lindsay has been recognized as one of the world's top 300 IP strategists (also announced on his LinkedIn profile). This is the first year that IAM has allowed corporate IP people to be considered (in the past, it was only IP firms and consultancies, not operating companies), so being one of the first batch of corporate IP people to be so named is a significant honor. IAM 300 page is at:. Methodology is at. Jeff's listing is at. The published book of honorees is called IAM Strategy 300 – The World’s Leading IP Strategists.

As for the Fringe Theories issue, I really don't understand what's going on there and what one is supposed to do about that. Can you provide any guidance?Medget2 (talk) 11:52, 27 June 2015 (UTC)Medget2


 * I'm not quite sure why Dougweller raised the issue on the Fringe Theories Noticeboard, but that message is from February, and the discussion has long since been archived. Personally I rather don't think being one of a batch of 300 people per year is all that much of an honor. Has someone other than the organization bestowing the award reported on it so we can determine how independent parties see this achievement? Huon (talk) 13:50, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
