Welcome!
Hello, Monroe45, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Thomas Roberts (television journalist), it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks. But I added a comment from my own interview with the AJC. The quote is sourced. I am Thomas Roberts and I don’t appreciate my page being edited to reflect unproven lies. Monroe45 (talk) 17:54, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * We need to wait for the AJC to publish the article, then. Further, you should not be editing your own article, due to your inherent conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 17:56, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Please see the article was already published MONTHS ago and has proper attribution. Monroe45 (talk) 17:58, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * And which mentions the controversy. Wikipedia does not whitewash articles. —C.Fred (talk) 18:00, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

The language used is totally unfounded and does not appear in the article. Please read it. Monroe45 (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I did. "Roberts said some of the comments were taken out of context and perceived as disparaging." That ties to what the article says. —C.Fred (talk) 18:06, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Then why not add my own quote? My decision to resign had NOTHING to do with that. You are trying to portray my experience there as negative. That is not true. Monroe45 (talk) 18:09, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Add the quote, not overwrite the existing material. Already done. —C.Fred (talk) 18:10, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

It still portrays my departure as negative. That is not the case. It’s unfortunate that you would side with people who attempted to hurt me professionally. I appreciate your regard for the facts but in this case you are wrong. Monroe45 (talk) 18:17, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

From your edit summary here, where you state "Added factual statements from my own interview", it appears you have a conflict of interest and should not be editing the article Thomas Roberts (television journalist).

Please read WP:COI (below added for emphasis)

"Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. Any external relationship can trigger a conflict of interest. That someone has a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgment about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith."

I added a factual quote from my own interview. I took down false and libelous claims. Monroe45 (talk) 18:19, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * You need to read WP:COI and No legal threats. The proper way to deal with your concerns is to go to Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard and report your concerns. There the concerns will be discussed and addressed as appropriate.  // Timothy ::  talk  18:32, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * And very sincerely I hope you don't see anyone as being against you or hostile towards you. It's just there is a process and thats to go to Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard with your concerns. I wish you the best.  // Timothy ::  talk  18:41, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Timothy. I am only attempting to portray my professional experience in a fair and appropriate manner. Monroe45 (talk) 19:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I understand. I've been reading up on the rules here, specifically at Biographies of living persons and think based on that I might be able to edit without breaking any rules. Check the article for the change. IF someone changes it again, you can see my version here . I think it fairly reflects the source. Someone may change it back, then the only place to go is Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. Please let me know if you think the edit is fair and accurately reflects the source and I will try and work with you per Biographies of living persons. Best wishes.   // Timothy ::  talk  21:13, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

Timothy, thank you. I feel your edit fairly handles the matter. I appreciate your willingness to hear me out and your regard for facts. Monroe45 (talk) 21:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
