User talk:RiverTom

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was DIKW pyramid, 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 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!

 * Help me. I am just trying to leave a reference that the keynote on this sugject took place not in conflict  ASIS is  valid groupin which to defend any thesis DigitalVirtualTom (talk) 22:03, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia isn't a place to list conference keynotes, particularly when you have a conflict of interest, since it was your speech. Please stop trying to add this. MrOllie (talk) 15:10, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Wow this really is filtered artifacts of knowledge.  No wonder why AI is taking the lead.  Professors using their text have done this as an acceptable practice for years  I reduced it to a statement of fact that an academic event took place in an accredited community of the subject of this site  I dropped any thesis or name.

 * Wikipedia isn't an indiscriminate collection of information. The fact that an academic event took place does not mean the Wikipedia article must cover it. MrOllie (talk) 15:33, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
 * So it is information with bias disguised as knowledge and maybe even wisdom. What a paradox. I defended mine to a large community of information scientists. DigitalVirtualTom (talk) 15:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi, it seems that your recent edits have been reverted. Please kindly note that we usually add content together with reliable sources. Also, we want to have the most important and relevant content carries the most weight in the article. Further, if you have conflict of interest Wrt the article subject, the issue is even more complicated and you are encouraged to discuss your edit on the article’s talk page first (prior to addition). I understand your frustration, but unfortunately there is a learning curve here. You may want to start with some simple editing in other topics first ... You may find this essay useful as well. Again, welcome and happy editing, -- Dustfreeworld (talk) 12:55, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
