User talk:Geoffrey I Webb

Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Geoffrey I Webb! I am Calaka and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Thank you for this useful information Calaka.

I do indeed know David Green who is a colleague in my University Department and did not realise that there was a need to declare such. Given that I have now submitted the article, can you please advise how I should best declare the CoI?

With thanks,

Hi Geoff, I believe you also have a COI with Geoffrey Webb and perhaps other topics to which you have contributed. You will need to declare all of your COIs (see WP:COIDECLARE), and you should not edit the articles directly but rather make edit requests. If you need help making the declarations, let me know. You may also find WP:EXPERT helpful.

I have moved David Green to draft, Draft:David Geoffrey Green, because most of the content is unsourced and what is sourced is to his own publications which is a primary source and not independent. I also suspect some of it is synthesis. While it is in draft you are welcome to make improvements to address the issues then submit it for review. If you have questions, you can ask at the Teahouse.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Geoffrey I Webb. 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
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. S0091 (talk) 16:35, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

David Geoffrey Green moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to David Geoffrey Green. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and you may have a possible Conflict of Interest. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. S0091 (talk) 14:13, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
