Concerns

Many of your edits involve adding links to book by the University of Chicago Press. Do you have any connection there? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 22:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

advice

It is entirely appropriate and desirable to add books to the article for a published author notable for his publications--for an academic in a field where books are important, we normally try to list all their books written or co-written. The book should be added in the format of other books on the list, in standard bibliographic format. It should be referenced, with the reference going not to the publisher or Amazon or a bookdealer of any sort , but to WorldCat or LC or a similar national library or by using the {{ISBN}} template. If there are books listed without full publication information and a reference, that information should be added. Ideally if one is doing that,one should do it for all the books that need fuller information, not just those from a particular publisher. . But we do not include a link to an excerpt from the book on the publishers site, i.e., we do not add something like ''Invisible: The Dangerous Allure of the Unseen'' (2015), ISBN 978-0-226-23889-0 Read an [http://press.uchicago.edu/books/excerpt/2015/Ball_Invisible.html excerpt]." That counts as advertising. The policy is WP:EL.

I am going through your past additions, and been removing such links, while keeping the bibliographic information.

Whether to include a book other than in a list of books as being of particular importance, or saying anything about the book other that the plain facts of publication--that must not be done by someone with WP:Conflict of Interest, such as the publisher. What can be done is to suggest the addition on the talk page of the article.

And if you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it on your user page, and, preferably, in the edit summary, according to our Terms of Use, particularly those with respect to paid contributions without disclosure. DGG ( talk ) 05:48, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SPA /COI

Hi Sigismondo all your edits to date have been adding publications by University of Chicago press to Wikipedia. This makes your account what we call a "single purpose account" (please see WP:SPA) I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some questions for you below.

Hello, Sigismondo. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but 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 or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

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.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

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.

Question

Wikipedia is a scholarly project, and like all scholarly endeavors, disclosure and management of conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it.

Would you please let me know if you have any relationship with University of Chicago Press? Please do answer here - I am "watching" this page. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 11:05, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
