Information icon

Hello JohnEricHiggs. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:JohnEricHiggs. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=JohnEricHiggs|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. PRAXIDICAE🌈 14:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for your message. I am not currently being directly or indirectly compensated for any of my edits. Please let me know if you’ve received this. Kind Regards.

That's quite curious, what is your connection to Bishop? PRAXIDICAE🌈 15:40, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Praxidicae, I have no connection to Bishop. Thanks again for the question. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 15:43, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So where did all the personal information in the article come from? For example, his birth date. PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:33, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Praxidicae! Great question. His birth date is available in a simple google search, on his website, social media pages and on his academic records at the various research institutions he has taught in and which actively reference his work. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 16:39, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Really? I can't find them. Please provide exact links to each statement that verifies it. I'll wait. PRAXIDICAE🌈 16:44, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again Praxidicae - for your own piece of mind - here's a rather long link to google: https://www.google.com/search?q=William+Bishop+musician&rlz=1CAKSOU_enGB994&biw=1310&bih=665&sxsrf=ALiCzsZXWN9U272xMZROCjI-SlJGT4ON7g%3A1655225760681&ei=oL2oYrCcKZKpgAbYibWQDw&ved=0ahUKEwiw7PO7tK34AhWSFMAKHdhEDfIQ4dUDCA4&uact=5&oq=William+Bishop+musician&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBAguECcyBAgjECcyBAgjECcyBggAEB4QFjIGCAAQHhAWMgYIABAeEBYyBggAEB4QFjIGCAAQHhAWMgYIABAeEBYyBggAEB4QFjoICAAQsAMQogQ6CQgAEB4QyQMQFjoFCAAQgAQ6BQguEIAEOgsILhCABBDHARCvAToECCEQFUoECEEYAUoECEYYAFCTBViIK2DBLWgCcAB4AIAB0QOIAdYNkgEHNi4zLjQtMpgBAKABAcgBAcABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz

All the information in the draft is in the public domain. I'm glad you find the topic of interest - a pleasure to answer your questions. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 17:09, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So this joint news article on Presswire isn't you and he working together, then? Nick Moyes (talk) 12:04, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Nick, thanks again for the message, I would imagine that the press release was written by a PR company, or the record label, Sony Music I think. I have no affiliation with the topic. Biographers tend not to. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 12:26, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Presswire does not necessarily name the authors. John Higgs is quite a common same, I like to use my middle name. Let me know what you think of the draft. Kind Regards, JohnEricHiggs JohnEricHiggs (talk) 12:28, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I sincerely doubt this given the massive attempt to get this article published through freelancer.com and the fact that his management has the same name. It's better all around if you just cut to the chase. PRAXIDICAE🌈 19:47, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Praxidicae,
Many thanks once again for your input to a topic you are clearly interested in. Would you like to help with the article. It would be greatly appreciated?
Kind Regards and many thanks again. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 20:34, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
He isn't notable and I don't appreciate people who waste editors time by not being truthful. PRAXIDICAE🌈 20:35, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Just a reminder you were asked to disclose and still have failed to do so, if you do not abide by Wikimedia's terms of use, you will be blocked. PRAXIDICAE🌈 17:43, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Praxidicae,
Allow me to continue to put your mind at rest by re-iterating that I have no financial affiliation whatever with William John Titus Bishop, and I believe I have declared this. I will continue to be as transparent and truthful in all my edits and abide by wikipedias terms of use. Many thanks again, your assistance with any edit is always greatly appreciated, Kind Regards John. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 18:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
So you just happened to publish his press releases? PRAXIDICAE🌈 18:44, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Praxidicae,
No, I did not publish his, or anyone else's, press releases. Again, your meticulousness is most welcome, and I can say with my hand on my heart, that I have absolutely no affiliation whatsoever with William John Titus Bishop. Your assistance is again, most appreciated. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 18:53, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hi JohnEricHiggs! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Celia Homeford (talk) 15:39, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Celia, Thank you for clarifying that one for me. Kind Regards. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 15:53, 14 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse logo

Hi JohnEricHiggs! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Suggestions for improving a draft article (academic/artist biography), has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days.

You can still read the archived discussion. If you have follow-up questions, please create a new thread.


See also the help page about the archival process. The archival was done by Lowercase sigmabot III, and this notification was delivered by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} on top of the current page (your user talk page). Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:William John Titus Bishop, 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. Randykitty (talk) 16:56, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved this to draft space because notability has not been demonstrated, as you have been told previously. You should use the WP:AFC process to submit for review. I will add that personally, I do not find it believable that you have no relationship to the person who recently wrote a press release about the same subject and has the same name as you. You should carefully consider WP:COI and WP:PAID and make any appropriate disclosures. Melcous (talk) 08:02, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Melcous, and thank you for your input. I have nothing to disclose with regards to COI, as stated previously, but I fear there is nothing I can do to convince you otherwise.

With regards to notability, the topic does fulfil the criteria as outlined for both academic and musician, and the sources are correct.

I thank you again for your comments and will continue to edit the article accordingly.

Kind Regards,

John JohnEricHiggs (talk) 08:14, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are going to have a hard time convincing anyone that it is merely a coincidence that you created an article here and began writing a promotional piece about this person at exactly the same time someone else with the same name as you wrote a PR piece about them elsewhere. My advice would be to make the correct disclosures and then continue editing, otherwise it seems likely that you could be heading towards a block from editing altogether. Melcous (talk) 08:18, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

In addition to the above note about your seeming promotion of William Bishop, too many of your other edits are either unnecessary [1], not in keeping with the Manual of Style,[2], erroneous [3] or incorrect [4]. I would suggest you slow down and take the time to understand how wikipedia works (try Wikipedia:Five Pillars or WP:The Wikipedia Adventure) if you wish to continue editing here. Melcous (talk) 08:13, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for all your advise. Take care, John JohnEricHiggs (talk) 08:25, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is wikipedia policy that main space articles should not redirect to drafts. Please stop reverting the speedy deletion template on William Bishop (writer) or you may be reported for vandalism. Melcous (talk) 08:37, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello JohnEricHiggs! Your additions to 2022 Colombia landslides have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 23:05, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Logged-out editing?

[edit]

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:18, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
I have addressed the conflict of interest (there is no conflict of interest) if I need do anything further please inform me. Without wishing to contradict your comments, the references have been checked by other editors, and I myself find them all to refer to the content directly.
Kind Regards,
J.H. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 10:26, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,
When the references were checked only two, which have since been corrected were, shown to be incorrect. None of the others were questioned. I will review all of them again at your suggestion. I have looked and I can’t find William Bishop (performing artist) on the notice board you mention. There are however a number of discussions involving bishops. There is nothing for me to comment on.
Kind Regards,
J.H. JohnEricHiggs (talk) 11:09, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Here is the link for you [5] the questionable sources are all marked quite clearly with failed verification tags. Theroadislong (talk) 12:18, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)

JohnEricHiggs I'm not sure if you are being disingenuous or if there is a competence issue, but there are no "discussions involving bishops" at WP:COIN. There is however a discussion titled Draft:William Bishop, AfC abuse at which you are mentioned and where your response would be appreciated.
In terms of the draft, two hours before you posted here, I checked the references and found no less than twelve that completely failed verification. You say that you have reviewed them all and they are correct and confirm notability. For one example, can you please explain how and why you think the statement "Bishop has released an EP, Second Time Around (2018), and three full-length studio albums ... Waves on Wire (2020)" is verified by this source: [6], which is an article written by man named William Bishop who has been a magazine editor since 1991 (when the subject of this article was six years old!) and is about a vision he had of future social harmony? And for a second, can you explain how you think this source: [7] verifies the statement He has released 3 studio albums with major record label Sony Music when it explicitly says "Label:self-released"? Melcous (talk) 12:26, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
I am not responsible for all of those incorrect edits. I will review and correct accordingly. I have also commented on the discussion that you mention to clarify.
P.S. Melcous - the E.P. as far as I can see, was self released. The studio albums are on Sony.
Kind Regards,

Bypassing AfC?

[edit]

Are you sure this is a good idea with so many people watching the article and the COIN case? ☆ Bri (talk) 16:29, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bri,
I am being bullied by editors on this site. I am being told I'm a liar by editors and accused of having a conflict of interest which is just opinion. Please leave me alone. Is there somewhere I can report this behavior? JohnEricHiggs (talk) 12:32, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You can report bullying here Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, I see zero evidence of bullying, so beware of WP:BOOMERANG. Theroadislong (talk) 12:43, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello,
Thank you. Having everything you say met with 'you're lying' or 'please tell the truth' is a total disregard for anything actually said. It is gaslighting and highly manipulative behaviour. I have not noticed this from yourself however.

Theroadislong (talk) 16:46, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You can't reverse this by simply removing the AfD notice from the article. You will need to participate in the AfD debate and explain why it should be kept. ☆ Bri (talk) 17:05, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
