User talk:Sue Journ

Welcome!
Hello, Sue Journ, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:19, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Help me!
Hi,

I'd like to publish the article saved on my old talkpage: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sue_Journe/Mohamad_Jebara. Would it be possible to have it looked over before publishing the article? I would really appreciate the advice and guidance.

Thanks,

Sue

 * The way to send a draft for review is to put at the top. That will put it in the queue at WP:Articles for creation for review by an experienced user, who will either accept it or give you feedback. If you want messages about it to come to this account, you should put  . Copy those templates as they appear on this page - don't include the "nowiki" and "tt" tags you will see on the edit page.


 * First comment: that isn't how we do references. The  material should go in the article text at the appropriate point. Then at the end of the article put a heading   and beneath it  . The system automatically puts numbered links like [1] in the text and lists the actual references at the end, with appropriate cross-links. This is explained at WP:Referencing for beginners.


 * That may not be as much work as might appear, because my second comment is: you have far too many references. Read WP:Citation overkill. References enough to verify what the article says are good, but too many references only complicate things, and raise suspicions of WP:Bombardment. You do not need to link to every column he has written or to every press report about his cycle rides. In assessing WP:Notability, references about him by other people are much more valuable than references to things he has written, particularly those that are about him in some depth, as opposed to just reporting something he has done or said.


 * Read WP:Your first article for advice, and also WP:Writing better articles to learn the proper way to lay an article out. There is also advice on writing biographical articles at WP:WikiProject Biography. That may seem like a lot of studying, but a reviewer is more likely to accept an article which does not require a lot of rearrangement and reformatting, and it will save you time on future articles.
