Double standards
Wikipedia annoys me with its double standards, too. It does discriminate against academics. Any footballer can have an article after spending a single second on the pitch in a qualifying match. Academics have to leap a high bar. This is because the alleged wisdom of crowds panders to the crowd that makes the most noise. I wish footballers had to be truly notable, too, but it isn't ever going to happen. I applaud the tough standards that academics have to meet in order to deserve articles. I believe that is the way it should be for all people. It will not happen. Fiddle  Faddle  18:11, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Sam Walton (talk) 14:09, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Thank you - I just now see this. There is so much info for newcoming editors - it is impossible to click through on everything. The truth is that when the article on Jeroen C.J.M. van den Bergh was accepted for Wikipedia, there was an Orphan warning added by someone. So I thought to immediately resolve it by looking at a few topics that I worked on and discovered some relevant things related to my work could be added, which I did with all good intentions. These various changes in a very brief time period then gave rise the COI noticeboard discussion. Excellent there is so quick control and feedback.Research83 (talk) 13:45, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Apologies, and welcome!
Hello,

I'm afraid I'm writing you before I intended, and so must offer apologies.

Your real identity came to my attention today, and I'm provisionally thrilled you're interested in Wikipedia. The issue is that you seem to want to engage in self-promotion instead of applying your subject matter expertise to the overall content in that area whether it involves you or not. That's something of a WP:Conflict of interest. That said, we have a policy that we should WP:Ignore all rules when the overall project benefits. Personally, when I looked at your work I saw a good faith attempt at article improvements and responsiveness to the community's feedback. As I understand it, we're supposed to ignore rules like WP:COI when doing so improves the project, as I believed you were doing.

Before I reached out to you I wanted to check my understanding, and so posted what was intended to be a "please educate me" thread. Unfortunately, it has become an "examine Research83" thread.

Wikipedia very much needs interested subject matter experts to volunteer time to their overall subject (and not just themselves). Hopefully the review I inadvertently kicked off will not drive you off before you decide if that is something you're interested in.

I'll be glad, even grateful, if I can help you make the decision to stick around and branch out. My talk page is always open. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:54, 17 March 2015 (UTC)


 * As also I said on your personal talk page, many thanks for support.Research83 (talk) 14:02, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * PS, There is a way to purge your explicit statement of your real name, if that concerns you. I'm not sure what it is, but if asked, I'll help you find out. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 14:58, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * An admin can revision delete the diff from non-admin view or it can be entirely oversighted :) Sam Walton (talk) 15:08, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Hello, Research83. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 02:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Important note for you
If you continue editing as you have been, without talking back to various editors here, and without responding to, and dealing with, your COI issues, you will end up losing your editing privileges. (Editing Wikipedia is not a right - it is a privilege). So please do talk with us, and please respond to the COI issues. (I looked at your contribs, and you have used a talk page exactly once - here.) We don't like losing experts. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 03:05, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

indenting posts on Talk
when you post a reply on a talk page, please indent your posts. to create one tab, put one colon : in front of your post; for two tabs, put two colons, etc.
 * like this
 * and this. make sure it is a colon and not a semicolon - the semicolon also bolds your text.  Jytdog (talk) 18:12, 22 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your advice and patience with me. I put here the link to the page where we had more discussion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jeroen_C.J.M._van_den_Bergh) as it is difficult for me to find always (seems to be hidden or so).Research83 (talk) 14:05, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for replying here. I am glad you discovered your own Talk page, and are talking back!  You can always get to a Talk page by clicking on the "Talk" tab at the upper left corner of any article.  You can always get to your own Talk page by clicking on "Talk" at the very very top of any page you are on, next to your username.  Wikipedia has a "notification" system that provides notices anytime someone writes on your Talk page, or links to your username like this  on article Talk page.  When either thing happens, the little square icon next to your username at the very top of the page will turn red and will show the number of notifications there.  If you hover your mouse over it or click on it you will see the notifications and you can click on anyone of them to see it in context.  Changes to your Talk page will also appear in your Watchlist, which is also in that row at the very top of the page.Jytdog (talk) 14:15, 23 March 2015  (UTC)


 * Note I couldn't see who this wrote, only tildes (~) appeared at the end.
 * It is true, I have discovered my own Talk page. Seems easy but is not.


 * I now also looked at the other WP articles where I had made changes which you corrected/deleted (see for an explanation of what I did a comment to another editor Sam Walton above). Only one thing I don't understand: why was all the info related to my article criticizing degrowth removed. I can imagine you shorten it, move it elsewhere, or delete any explicit author names from the text. But you are surely aware that the section with criticism in the degrowth article is vague and badly referenced (and various reference that are there are too general, not really about degrowth in particular), and so some of these items don't deserve to be there. The discussion I had added, with a published (and much cited) journal article as evidence, is one of the few concrete, focused criticism of degrowth. It really deserved to have a place in this article. Research83 (talk) 14:29, 23 March 2015‎ (UTC)


 * And thanks for the explanation how everything works!Research83 (talk) 14:35, 23 March 2015‎ (UTC)
 * sorry i accidentally broke the wikipedia software - i fixed it. Jytdog (talk) 14:43, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
