User talk:Amybpt

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it has been moved to where you can continue to work on it. Please consider using the Article Wizard or the Articles for Creation procedure. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read "Your first article". You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 13:13, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More specifics?[edit]

Thank you. I would aporeciate more specifics about what is wrong so that I can fix it. Thank you. Amy Amybpt (talk) 13:37, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For starters, it needs much better sourcing. All content needs to be verifiable by reference to independent, secondary sources, and these should be linked throughout the article to the statements they support by use of footnotes. You should always avoid vague resume-like statements such as "guest lecturer to various international conferences" and only mention things that are notable and can be properly sourced. Once you have done some more work on the article, you should use the articles for creation process to submit it for review and you can then receive specific feedback and advice before it is approved to be in the main encyclopedia.

It is also worth mentioning that if you have any relationship or connection to the person you are writing about, you may have a conflict of interest and if so you must follow the relevant guidelines, including declaring this. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 14:07, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.[edit]

This is a direct translation of the hebrew page about eli carmeli. How does one declare knowing the person who is subject of the page? I appreciate your help. Amy Amybpt (talk) 14:25, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You can make the declaration on your user page - I will put a link below to the basic conflict of interest guidelines, click on the link "DISCLOSE". Note also that the different language versions of wikipedia do often have different guidelines and rules so you need to familiarise yourself with the ones where at English wikipedia for this article.

Conflict of interest guidelines[edit]

Hello, Amybpt. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 20:34, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
