User talk:Patricktresset

Welcome!
Hello, Patricktresset, 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

 * 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
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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!

If I understand your email correctly you added yourself to a list (at Robotic art), and are arguing that you are important enough to be included. Our convention is that names are added on such lists for people who are notable, meaning they have a Wikipedia article. We are an encyclopedia; we are not the Yellow Pages. If you wish to write that article yourself, I suppose you can do so, but that brings up the matter of the conflict of interest, which you will need to address before you start making those edits. Also, there are communication opportunities on this website: please use those before you use email. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 02:21, 5 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello Drmies Thank you for all the info. I really need to spend the time read the suggested help articles.
 * I assumed that it was ok, to add myself on the list, as it was not a full article. My mistake.  I had an important artwork in this exhibition cited in the wikipedia article:
 * "Le Grand Palais in Paris organised an exhibition ‘’Artists & Robots", featuring artworks created by more than forty artists with help of robots in 2018".https://www.grandpalais.fr/fr/article/patrick-tresset-fait-dessiner-les-robots-au-grand-palais [reference]

Of course I do understand that wikipedia is not the yellow pages, and I apologize for emailing you directly.
 * Many thanks for your help.

 * Patrick: the way to go is this--OK, the first way to go is for me to tell you what you will often hear, and it's not wrong: "if you're notable, wait for someone else to write you up". The second way is, well, look at WP:DRAFT, which is an opportunity to create articles in a drafting process. You'll have to be clear about the COI, of course. Also, you are using your real name, which is fine, except that you're giving up aspects of your privacy, and I STRONGLY suggest you carefully read WP:REALNAME first, particularly the last paragraph (I'm sure you're not a minor). More in general, you probably need to look at articles on people in your business--good articles, or better yet Good Articles, and follow the format--particularly in terms of neutrality and sourcing. We can't have resumes, but notable people will have secondary sources who talked about them--that's the way to write articles. OK, I think I've given you enough to think about and look at for now. Ping me if you have any (more) questions. PS a skull, a fox, and a crow? interesting Drmies (talk) 17:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
