Conflict of interest

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.Clovis Sangrail (talk) 02:54, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Palmiotti article

Hi. Thanks for working to improve the site with your edits to Jimmy Palmiotti, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edits had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

It is also important to understand that more fundamentally autobiographical edits are strongly discouraged on Wikipedia, and edits that are made with the intention to promote or advertise the subject are strictly prohibited, as explained by WP:NOTADVERT. This applies to passages like the following, which was not supported by a citation of a secondary source:

These titles changed the face of marvel comics by bringing in top talent inside and outside of comics and introduced the hollywood film industry to the marvel characters. They are credited as well for bringing up the production values of the titles with a look that has been assimilated over the years into the entire brand.

In addition, no disrespect intended, but if you're going to contribute to an encyclopedia, and if you really are the Jimmy Palmiotti, who is a professional writer in addition to an artist, you really need to work on your writing skills.

Proper nouns, such as the names of companies and their product lines, like Marvel Knights and Warner Brothers, and names of books such as Predator and Virus, are capitalized. This also applies to proper nouns composed of multiple words, like X-Men, which should be written as such, and not X-men.
Conversely, common nouns like miniseries and verbs that appear in the middle of a sentence like "inking" are not capitalized.
The word label is not spelled "lable", and currently is not spelled "cuttently".
Wikilinks are created by putting a set of two of square brackets in front of the term in question and a set of two closing square brackets at the end, not curly brackets.
Sentences and words should be separated by spaces. A colon, on the other hand, should not be separated by the preceding word with a space.

You can address a number of these issues by simply proofreading your edits, either by using the preview function, or checking your edits after you've saved them. Or both.

Also, these are more minor points that you should not have been expected to know, but which bear mentioning:

On Wikipedia, names of works such as books, movies, TV shows, etc., are italicized, not quoted. Names of imprints or product lines like Marvel Knights are neither.
Numbers from 0 - 9 are written out as words, and not numerals, as indicated by WP:NUMERAL.

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 21:18, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I figured it might've been something like that. And just so you know, if you come across coverage of you and your career in secondary sources whose material would make additions to the article, feel free to refer them to me, and I'll add the material to the article.
