User talk:DCBarrow

Welcome!

Hello, DCBarrow, and welcome to Wikipedia! 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. 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 Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Just a check - if you are writing about yourself - the WP:COI issue looms. Seek guidance if you are not sure where things start or end. JarrahTree 01:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I intend to stay in Talk concerning Article references to myself. Thought it might be interesting to chat with someone (me) "in the arena". If there are objections, I will just stop. I am not operating any other Wikipedia account. DCBarrow (talk) 02:06, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

I have no personal objections, just a heads up in case someone tries to throw a policy or whatever at you. I encourage you to be positive and stay in there. JarrahTree 02:10, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Explaining improvements to EEng

Do you have questions why my edits to the article are improvements?

"The article has far too much WP:OR as it is. We don't "monitor" cases. Restrict yourself to WP:SECONDARY sources. EEng 12:44, 14 July 2018 (UTC)"

Well, my edits on this article include no WP:OR. It is all from WP:PRIMARY. I can understand if this is not a topic area within your ability. As to your comment on "monitor", I was in the talk area and so talking about the future of the article.DCBarrow (talk) 14:01, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

Blocked

I have blocked this account indefinitely as it is seemingly used for the single purpose of engaging in soapbox activities to promote content relating to yourself in a manner that is incompatible with our behavioral guideline as described in Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#COI editing. To appeal this decision, please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks. Alex Shih (talk) 12:58, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• Does that answer your question, DCBarrow? EEng 13:02, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

No. I do not understand why you will not engage with me explaining why the content of the article has been improved. Although it may be that you do not understand Australian Constitutional law. Or something else is going on. DCBarrow (talk) 13:19, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
