User:Christopher Lotito


This user page gives the impression of being an article. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:25, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Please do not delete my user page. The presence of the word "User:" in large letters at the top of the page should be sufficient to notify viewers that they are reading a user page and not an article.Christopher Lotito (talk) 10:56, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Hummm except for the 4 letters User it looks just like an extensively developed article written entirely by the subject. Why is this user ignoring WP:NOTAWEBHOST, WP:FAKEARTICLE and the userspace guidelines? Legacypac (talk) 16:31, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I have tried to include information on my page about my areas of expertise as well as disclosing any potential conflicts of interest that I may have. As per the about you section of the user page creation guide, I wanted to avoid simply adding an infobox full of biographical information. I thought that my page fell within the bounds of the wide latitude offered for user pages, but it seems there are other perspectives. I'd be willing to consider some feedback and suggestions for edits here or via my talk page. Thanks for your time.Christopher Lotito (talk) 22:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * My userpage is not perfect, but I included a little biographical info and some other stuff. No one would confuse it for an article. The fact you edit under a real (at least sounding) name further makes your user page look just like an article about you. I'll be so blunt to say your not WP:N so an article about you is not appropriate. Maybe cut it down to some bullet points listing areas of potential WP:COI and something about your interest written in first person rather than Wikipedia voice. It's interesting to understand where people come from and what they work at in real life, but what is there is a Fake Article. Legacypac (talk) 14:51, 4 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I tagged it as a user page. I suggest you go through the page and change it to 1st person and pare down the glowing tone a bit. As written, it does indeed look a lot like a fake article. VQuakr (talk) 02:00, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
