User talk:Ultra Klutz Jr.

Welcome!
Hello, Ultra Klutz Jr., and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

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! SarahStierch (talk) 03:14, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Jeff Nicholson
I have "userfied" the page for you: restored it to User:Ultra Klutz Jr./Jeff Nicholson where you can work on it.

It seems likely from your username that you are, or are connected to, Jeff Nicholson. In that case you have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a Conflict of interest, and should read that page and the WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In brief, don't edit about him directly, but you may make suggestions or prepare a draft for uninvolved users to consider. The reason for all this caution is that Wikipedia is very vulnerable to being used for promotion, and is therefore extremely resistant to any hint of that.

I see that you are familiar with WP:Artist. The WP:General notability guideline is also worth reading. References do not have to be on-line, but they do need to have been published so that, at least in principle, an enquiring reader could use them to verify what the article says. List or catalogue entries help with verification, but references in reliable sources with some editorial control that discuss the subject in some depth carry much more weight in assessing notability.

Your questions about the comments in WP:Articles for deletion/Jeff Nicholson:
 * "CV" means Curriculum Vitae. An encyclopedia article about someone is a different thing from a CV where they list all their achievements.
 * "holdings in the mid 20s for the various titles" - it is so easy to publish a book these days that having done so means very little. One way to assess the significance of a book is to use sources like Worldcat to check how many libraries hold copies.
 * "just nominations" - being nominated for an award is inevitably less significant than winning one. By the way "notoriety" is not what we are after, but "notability", and Wikipedia uses that word in a particular technical sense, not a matter of opinion or assertion but to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant or important enough to write substantial comment about?

Please do not restore the article to the main encyclopedia yourself, (a) because of your COI and (b) because an article previously deleted by a deletion discussion is liable to be speedy-deleted if it ids just re-posted. When it is ready, let me know. I might decide that it is ready to go back, but I am more likely to send it to WP:Deletion review which is the "appeal court" for articles deleted this way.
