September 2016 edit

  Hello, I'm Serols. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to Best of The Outlaws: Green Grass and High Tides— because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

A belated welcome edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as an editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 04:46, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi Michaelgmitchell45. Maybe this quote from the lede of Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy will clarify the situation for you: --Ronz (talk) 17:20, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing.

The material I placed was extremely well sourced from reliable and often used publications. Each section had more than one independent source. It represented major milestones in the subject's life , was encyclopedic, and phrased neutrally. So I say again... why did you delete all of it? Instead of my taking this to a dispute resolution, could we discuss restoring it appropraitely? Michaelgmitchell45 (talk) 17:33, 20 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Draft:JLM Couture edit

Hi, can I ask on what basis did you move Draft:JLM Couture into the main article space past the AfC process, especially given that it had been recently declined and no further improvements had been made? The sourcing is not sufficient to establish notability per WP:GNG / WP:ORGCRIT, and the article would have just been sent straight to AfD (by me, if no one else, and probably latest by NPP). Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:30, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
