User talk:Raffaelem

Welcome!

Hello, Raffaelem, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Hi Tony, thank you for your note. I was adding factual information and I declare an interest in the page. I use my name as my editor name as a point of disclosure. I would be most grateful if an independent editor would review the page in question. Raffaelem (talk) 05:16, 14 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the understanding! Looking over the article, I think the key things that are missing are good sources - it is currently virtually unsourced, and under Wikipedia's guidelines for articles about living persons, sources are very important, and information directly from you - a primary source - is generally considered less preferred. Do you have newspaper articles, magazines, or similar coverage of yourself that you could provide links to as sources for the material in the article? That would be a great start.

Thanks Tony, I'm treating this article as a living document and will add sources progressively. I assume these can be references to scholarly sources, media newspaper articles etc even though I don't have them as hyperlinks? Please advise. Raffaelem (talk) 12:48, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I realised I should read the resource links provided by your notes and wikipedia. Will do so and align to the guidelines. thanks again. Raffaelem (talk) 12:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
