July 2019 edit

  Hello, I'm Keithrwalker. I wanted to let everyone know that the below accusations about Jedrankin's contributions are both incorrect. His contributions were all to the page that I maintain, the List of prolific inventors. They were in no way "promotional" nor "soapbox." He followed the rules of the article and provided objective contribution that is not a self-promotion. I rely on inventors to add themselves when they meet the criteria of 200 issued utility patents. This is not subjective nor self-promotion. The reference Jed provided is the actual source of patent data, the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Furthermore, the accusation that "it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself" is factually incorrect. The article has existed for many years. Jedrankin did not write this article nor has he written any article. --Keithrwalker (talk) 02:25, 25 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Masumrezarock100. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Masum Reza📞 14:34, 24 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at List of prolific inventors. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:05, 24 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
