Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Sockpuppet investigations/Philip J Milton for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:24, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I apologise for any mistakes I have made. I am new to this and obviously not doing very well. Please remove the listing and I shall re-read your guidance notes and resubmit accordingly.

NB, is it possible to put on an entry for a living person to just bring up his name and a small amount of personal information.

Many thanks

 * Te main concern is if you are Phillip J Morton or affiliated with him in some way. We do allow notable persons to have pages here as applies to wp:rs but from what I saw he wasn't all that notable. Maybe a user page would be more appropriate so long as it isn't too spammy.

Thank you for your feedback and I note and understand your comments. I am Philip's PA. I will attempt to set him up a user page. Is there guidance of how to do this available?

Thank you for your help and guidance - it is greatly appreciated. Nikki Baker (talk) 15:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

The user page is the link right next to the discussion tab. I would urge you to not create a mainspace article on Phillip!! If you do before publishing it please have it reviewed by an administator as your connection will be closely scrutinzed by our editors. I am not an admin but I have authored over 40 articles so if you need help adding sources or making sure it's within policy I offer my help as well. I will make a note on the sockpuppet investigatin you are his P.a. this will help avoid blocks but I will leave a template here so you can fimiliarize yourself with our ocnfliict of interest guidelines. You aren't in trouble it will help you get started. I am also leaving a welcome template. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:44, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Please note that I first logged in as Philip J Milton at his request. I shall in future only log in under my name - I was under the misunderstanding that to submit information on him I would need to be logged in as him. Sorry Nikki Baker (talk) 15:51, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clearing that up. I will also note that in the sockpuppet case. Likely that account will be blocked and deleted, I would highly suggest not doing that again, but it's now cleared up so no worries. Has phillip been featured in newspapers or magazines? Local news is fine, regional and national is better. If he is I can write the article from a neutral pov and make sure it's properly cited. This will also help bypass the COI issue. I would of course take any suggestioins within policy to heart when writing it but I would point you to relevant policies when I can't too. Let me know.

Hi thanks for your comments. Philip is regularly mentioned in the local Papers in his constituency (North Devon)from a political pov. His website is www.philipmilton.co.uk. He has also been printed on several occassions in financial literature such as the Financial Adviser magazine through his role as the owner of an IFA. Please let me know what further information you require to write an article for him? Are you sure you don't mind/have the time to do this? I really appreciate the offer. Many thanks Nikki Baker (talk) 12:11, 14 October 2009 (UTC)


 * It's not exactly a one sided deal. The thing I would ask for is some links to at least 3 local newspaper coverages, and one or two of the financial articles. As long as they are third party I will be able to fashion an article. I would have to present him in a neutral pov though, so if after I recieve the sources and they have criticisms in them I will have to list them with the good. I do get something out of this as well, My reward is personal, I get to help someone out and add an Article to my list, it's small but enough for me. I do work full time so it might take me a few days to flesh it out but I can get it done if you can help me out a bit too. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:21, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
