User talk:RodSoro

Welcome!
Hello, RodSoro, 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
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * 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

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, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

 * Hello Girth_Summit,
 * thanks for your revision about the article I´m writing about Septima Ars. I´m new, so I´m trying to do as best, reading the wiki articles and helps, but of course...I make mistakes.
 * For example, I tried to save my sandbox...but I published and it´s not a public article, it´s only my first draft and I don´t want anybody sees it, becasue is not finished...
 * I see other people wrote about some film spanish schools and nobody says that they are wrong or doing publicity or similar. I tried some time ago and my article was banned. Why? How? I try to let the people know about this school as others, because is the second oldest in Spain and with some of the most famous director and cinematographers ( as you may check ) in Spain as alumni... but I continue trying to find how the others did.
 * So please, help me, be patient, this is only a draft...but I can´t see how to save and no publish until the end.
 * All your comments are wellcome, thanks again. RodSoro (talk) 16:22, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi - if you read the policy pages I linked to, you will see that I am concerned about the fact that you have a conflict of interest with the subject you're writing about. As a general rule, editors are very strongly discouraged from writing about subjects they have a connection to - for example, our family members, friends, and employers. I used to work at quite a famous school, which we have an article about - I never edited that article, because of my conflict of interest. I now work at a different school, which we don't have an article about: I will not be the one to write it, again because of my COI.
 * It is not completely forbidden to write about a subject you're connected to, but there are certain steps you need to go through if you really want to do it. Those are explained in the guidelines I've linked to. What you are doing in trying to add unsourced or poorly sourced content to articles of people who went to the school certainly looks like you are here to promote the school, rather than to contribute neutrally to this volunteer project. You really need to desist from doing that. Girth Summit  (blether)  17:14, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok I understand...but why you think I have a strong connection with and why don´t suspect about others... this is difficult to know.
 * I understand what you are saying and understand about what wikipedia is.
 * Thnkas for your help. RodSoro (talk) 18:07, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I mean... your choice of username kind of gave it away. You mention Rodrigo Sorogoyen in the article, your account is called RodSoro - I'm joining the dots here. If there are other articles and users who you suspect are doing something similar, let me know and I'll investigate.
 * Now, look - unless and until you have properly disclosed your conflict of interest, as explained in the guidelines I have already given you, you must stop making any edits whatsoever concerning this school. If you do that again, I'm going to block your account from editing. Once you have disclosed properly, I suggest that you familiarise yourself with the edit request feature - it allows you to propose a change, and a source, on an article's talk page, and then an editor who does not have a conflict of interest will consider making the change. You need to familiarise yourself with our sourcing policies however - read WP:RS, and WP:BLP. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  18:16, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you again for your help. Actually, I don't have any relationship, but I did. I studied there. I have always been surprised that a school that is the second oldest in Spain, with students nominated every year and winners of Goya Awards, Oscar nominees, Grammy nominees...does not have its page, that's why I tried to create it. For example, tomorrow HBO premieres Garcia! the first Spanish original series and it is entirely directed by Eugenio Mira, a former student of the school and one of the greatest national talents. But I understand that this is difficult to know, that's why I tried to create this page. I didn't know how to get someone to review it. I will try it with your suggestion. Thanks again.
 * Regarding putting mentions on Wikipedia pages when they are true, for example, the one you have reviewed of Frank Spano, which he himself mentions in his bio on the web, or in that of his representatives or in many others ... it is a true, verifiable data. I do not understand why it should be deleted when Wiki is full of mentions of film schools around the world, especially American, of people who have studied there and no one considers them promotion. They are a verifiable reality.
 * On the other hand. Yes, I'm sure about another film school in Madrid whose Wikipedia page has been created recently, how to explain...
 * They create a Wikipedia page...from Australia. It's very rare that someone comes from Australia to know a Spanish film school ( because of distance and language ), you know? but they just have a collaboration with an Australian film school...it sounds strange. But more if you find out that they are a small school, with little to highlight...look at their wikipedia page.
 * Thanks a lot for all your help to a newbie like me, Girth Summit, although you should better call yourself Sherlock Holmes ;-) RodSoro (talk) 09:46, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK, my apologies, I think I misunderstood the text of your draft article. With the name Rodrigo Sorogoyen mentioned so prominently near the start of the article, I was assuming that you were employed there - perhaps one of the lecturers. If you are an ex-student, and no longer have a direct relationship with the school, that certainly reduces the level of COI that you would have.
 * With regards to adding information about the school to articles about people, remember that our aim isn't to collect all available information about people, but to summarise what reliable, independent sources say about them. IMDB is deemed unreliable in all circumstances, because it is generated by volunteer editors (just like Wikipedia - we don't allow our own pages to be used as sources either). What we want are reliable sources - perhaps a biography about him in a newspaper or similar, that would be an ideal source. You are right about verifiability, by the way - it is one of our five pillars.
 * If you want to get someone to review your draft, look at the WP:AfC process. You are going to need some independent, reliable sources to verify the information however, and to demonstrate notability - at the moment, all you've got is the school's own website.
 * If you want to give me the name of the other article/s you are suspicious about, I can take a look at the content and the history of its creation. Cheers Girth Summit  (blether)  10:08, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I´m going to try as you suggest.
 * About the others...look: Instituto del Cine Madrid
 * Your help is great !!
 * Cheers, RodSoro (talk) 10:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Only one more question. The sanbox is hidden for the people, that´s correct ? Because I want to try as a testing ground. RodSoro (talk) 10:23, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Your sandbox isn't exactly hidden - other people can see it if they want to, but they need to go looking for it. It's fine to have unsourced content in there while you are building up a draft article. There are certain rules that still apply there though - you can't copy text from sources into there, WP:COPYVIO still applies, and you can't put defamatory information about people in there. So yeah - go ahead and experiment.
 * I took a look at the Instituto del Cine article; it looks innocent enough. It's poorly sourced - it links to the institute's website, and to an article in La Provincia which is obviously marketing material produced by the institute, and to an article in a newspaper that collaborates with the institute - so, no independent sourcing. Crucially though, the language isn't too promotional, and the author has edited lots of different articles related to film and television, they don't appear to be a single purpose account. I've tagged it as needing better sources, hopefully someone will come along and improve it. Girth Summit  (blether)  11:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you!!!
 * I see that in my sandbox there is an alert in case I want to have it reviewed...would that be the same as asking an independent editor to create the page ?
 * Regarding the title of the page, when it is created...of course I don't want it to put sandbox...but it doesn't seem to be able to be changed. Would I have to start from scratch a page with title, etc ? and all this in a hidden way until I ask someone to review it ? correct ?
 * Thank you once again. RodSoro (talk) 11:45, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry I keep asking and taking up your time.
 * Another question, when you want to include your page in a category...it immediately links to it and makes it visible...but if it has not been reviewed by an editor yet...can it be deleted...I mean...is there any way to fully complete the page without it being deleted until an editor reviews it on his own request ?
 * THANKS AGAIN. RodSoro (talk) 11:51, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi - sorry, been away for a couple of days. The page can be retitled when it is moved into article space, no need for a rewrite. The answer to your other questions is the WP:AfC process, which I see from the message below that you have already engaged with. If you want my advice about getting the article accepted, you need to have more sourced content about the school itself. At the moment, you have two sentences about the school, both of them sourced to the school's website (which is not independent). The rest of it is about graduates of the school and the awards they have won. Try to find some independent sources giving information about the school, and go from there. Good luck. Girth Summit  (blether)  11:46, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks again !!! Your help is great for me.
 * All the best, RodSoro (talk) 09:45, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

 * Thanks AngusW🐶🐶F for your help and review my draft.
 * I would like to ask some things about the first message what talks about the things of the draft, as I´m new I´m not sure about what I´m doing right or wrong.
 * As this was my first time doing a draft I copied other wiki page and used as template ( Madrid Film institute ) and this way I had a guide to follow. Really, I changed few things...so how my draft looks and advertising and the template I used is ok ?
 * Thanks for your help. RodSoro (talk) 10:14, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
