User talk:Springvalleymoon

Welcome!
Hello, CarlFrederickJordan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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! —C.Fred (talk) 21:20, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Page for Carl F Jordan
Hello, my name is Anabel Foucart. I am creating the page for Dr. Carl Jordan. The School of Ecology at the University of Georgia, researchers at his farm and many of his students have suggested that I create a Wikipedia page for him. He is not a huge fan of computers and does not use much online media and thus I am working on this due to the many requests over recent years. The only reason the user-name is his, is because I don't plan on making other additions to Wikipedia and felt it would be an easy way to keep up with the file I have created for his work. Anabel @ afoucart@springvalleyecorfarms.orgCarlFrederickJordan (talk) 22:01, 8 October 2017 (UTC)


 * It is a violation of WP:Username policy for you to use somebody else's name as your own, especially when you are trying to start an article about them. I strongly suggest you change your username immediately; WP:CHU has instructions on doing that. Also, if you're creating the page at the request of his students, then you have a conflict of interest with the subject. —C.Fred (talk) 22:21, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for the help, links and suggestions. Dr. Jordan's students are all professionals working in the world and are not longer his students. Dr. Jordan is retired, and the word "students" simply makes reference to people who may have collaborated with him in the past and currently have no conflict of interest. Thank you, Anabel CarlFrederickJordan (talk) 00:07, 9 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Actually, COI rules do extend to personal acquaintances and past collaborators. —C.Fred (talk) 00:08, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Please share the types of contributors that are acceptable for this platform or direct me to the page that describes those in detail. Are new additions to be made by strictly neutral and distant third parties? Publishing here is very new to me and I am at the front-end of understanding the framework and limitations. Thanks, Anabel CarlFrederickJordan (talk) 00:25, 9 October 2017 (UTC)


 * The link is up in the earlier message, but I'll repeat it here WP:Conflict of interest. Editors with COIs are not forbidden from editing the conflicted articles, but they're strongly encouraged not to—or to request edits on the articles' talk pages. —C.Fred (talk) 01:23, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Springvalleymoon, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Dr. Carl F. Jordan- Ecologist, Conservationist and Professor Emeritus, Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:30, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Dr. Carl F. Jordan- Ecologist, Conservationist and Professor Emeritus, Odum School of Ecology, University of Georgia, Athens, GA. Thanks! Galobtter (talkó tuó  mió) 15:57, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello Galobtter, I will be happy to update the intro for Dr. Jordan to something that is more academic or suitable for an encyclopedia. The content is original and was not copied from anywhere. It's just a compilation from interviews I have conducted about him. Thank you- A Springvalleymoon (talk) 16:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. He does appear notable as he appears influential from a google scholar search. However I'd advice removing most of the content. It appears like fluff and per WP:VERIFIABILITY, we need to be able verify the content of the article. So your interviews cannot really be used to support the content. An article purely containing what he research he did and what positions he held would probably get accepted. Galobtter (talkó tuó  mió) 16:56, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
