Welcome![edit]

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

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was T. Harv Eker, which 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 any other 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.

The one firm 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

April 2012[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from T. Harv Eker. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Your request[edit]

Licensing issues can be tricky. If my response at Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Confirmed#User:Jayeker left you with more questions than answers, please contact me at my talk page and I'll try to explain in more detail.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 22:03, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why I reverted your edit[edit]

I reverted your removal of material from T. Harv Eker. The allegations in the paragraph are serious, but they appear to be supported by the references. There are legitimate reasons for removing material, even sourced material, but it is not done lightly. You are new, so don't realize that anything other than simple copyedits should be accompanied by an edit summary explaining the reason for the change. In addition, it is highly desirable to discuss, on the talk page, why it should be removed.--SPhilbrick (Talk) 22:12, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

May 2012[edit]

Hello Jayeker. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article T. Harv Eker, 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.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
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.

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. Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 16:43, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen (Jayeker) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is T. Harv Eker. Thank you. Quick qestion here: Just how are you related to T. Harv Eker? Please consider your reply carefully because your reply could mean the difference between your editing priviledge or not, here on Wikipedia. Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 16:47, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discussions[edit]

HI Dave- Thanks for the heads up and I am new to this so I appreciate the guidelines. I do not work for Harv Eker but he is my Father so if I need to disclose the conflict of interest as him being my Dad then here it is. I would like a chance to edit/add information onto the article. I felt the article edits I made seemed to be pretty neutral. If you don't mind I would like to draft up another article to add to this one already. I have read the FAQ now of Conflicts of interest and would like to proceed with adding and editing- JayEker

Aho~! Thanks for the prompt response, Jay... btw, have you ever attended any of the EW camp or GBI? Well, I have... and I don't edit the article because of my COI as a student of his, but the least I've done on the article is to keep it free from vandals. If you really want to help edit or contribute, what say I set up a subpage for you under your username? That way, you can edit in peace and I can help to perform some copyediting before we move the final draft into the mainspace. Thoughts? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 11:30, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-AHO!! I have done EW and use to help out a lot with logistics! Great to meet you on here. Can you direct me on the subpage instructions. I am pretty new to this as you can see. Thanks for the help and with your expertise I think we can get a fair and neutral article up there about Him. It is very raw so I would like to just add some things. I have already set up a new account with a different last name like you instructed and disclosed it on the article that I was COI. I also started to get involved on the talk page. Any direction form you would be greatly appreciated jayeker 11:30, 4 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
