Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Richard Shelton, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Richard Shelton. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Richard Shelton (actor), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 09:25, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

The point reqesting you propose changes is particularly relevant. Cabayi (talk) 09:27, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons is the guidance regarding biographies and the need to cite reliable, verifiable, independent sourcing. Cabayi (talk) 09:37, 6 March 2021 (UTC)

Re-instating page

Hi I need to discuss how to reinstate my page supported by facts. Please can you assist? Thank you Richard Shelton

(Came here from IRC-help) Ping Drmies since you were the one who removed the content. Best, Blablubbs|talk 21:29, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Richard Shelton, there isn't much to discuss here. We're an encyclopedia, and what is entered here should be verified by proper secondary sources. What you had was not that. Please see WP:SECONDARY. Second, I'm sorry to say that it's not your page; it's an article on Wikipedia. If you want have a page, LinkedIn is the place to go. Third, if this is you (and if it isn't you I have to block you), you obviously have a conflict of interest, which has been pointed out to you an at least two occasions, and you don't seem to have done anything about it. Read the message and follow the links. For instance, your next edit should be to properly disclose that COI--if you don't do that, you might be blocked. After you do that, and after you've read the relevant policies, then we can talk, although it seems to me that the matter is not difficult: neutral content based on proper sources, and best practice is for COI editors to confine themselves to the article talk page. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 21:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
