Relative time policy

[edit]

Hello CobraDaEditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! I wanted to let you know that I reverted some of your edits, specifically to Thomas Urquhart, Eton Manor Boys' Club, Man Gave Names to All the Animals, and Belarus Space Agency. The reason I reverted them was that you added "## years ago" to infoboxes. Our manual of style discourages the use of relative measures of time such as those, because they become outdated each year and updating them is tedious. Besides, if people want to know how long ago a date was, it's easy to do the math. If you have any questions, please contact me on my user talk page. Thank you for your contributions!

Information icon Please do not use styles that are unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Air Kyrgyzstan. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Read MOS:FLAGS regarding the use of flag icons in articles. Additionally, read WP:AIRLINE-DEST-LIST. Jetstreamer Talk 23:29, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jetstreamer, I am confused regarding the reverted edits I have made on said article Air Kyrgyzstan. Can you please tell me some more information on why my edits got reverted? Thanks.

No flags are to be used in airline destination articles.--Jetstreamer Talk 14:36, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Xtra-PC, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~~ Alex Noble - talk 08:57, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, CobraDaEditor. 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:02, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
