Welcome![edit]
Hello, Addeditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jacob Bragg, 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.
One 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. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

You continue to edit an article upon yourself (against Wikipedia advice) and to add details not supported by reliable sources. Please stop. Egghead06 (talk) 07:44, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Jacob Bragg shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

RE: The Jacob Bragg article[edit]
Hello, My name's KoshVorlon, I'm not an admin , nor a crat, I'm a user, like you are. I saw you were having a problem on the Jacob Bragg article, I also see you say you are Jacob Bragg. Here's the thing, none of us users can confirm that, and because we can't, we have to defer to our policy on articles of living people which pretty much tell us, if it's not referenced, it can't be there.
You do have a possible solution for this. Why not contact our OTRS team, they are trusted users and can be involved when the subject of an article is actually editing it. They do have the ability to confirm your identity. If they vouch for you, it can make your life on Wikipedia a lot easier. They can be contacted by email at info-en-q@wikimedia.org. Email them and let them know what's going on and they can advise you on how they can assist. In the meantime, please don't edit war with the other editors, we all have to follow policy (see the link above ) when it comes to articles of living people. Thanks KoshVorlon Rassekali ternii i mlechnye puti 18:02, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- You need to stop, or your account will be blocked and you won't be able to edit anything. Use the talk page to request changes to the article, as explained here. And if you don't have sources for something, then that cannot go into the article. Your own opinions or recollections are not verifiable and therefore have no place in the article. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 20:15, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
- I have to echo FRF's statements and give an example of how difficult it is to change or add things on Wikipedia. I wish I could remember the name of this author, but a few years ago we had a fairly well-known author try to edit his information on Wikipedia to fix information that he stated was incorrect for one reason or another. The changes weren't particularly outrageous, but they were different enough from what was already sourced that we couldn't accept his say so on the matter. We did get confirmation that he was who he said he was, but the problem was that none of his statements were backed up by reliable sources that were independent of himself. Even if you do prove that you are who you say you are, we still can't accept something based on your say so. The reason for this is that we've had multiple, multiple people come on and try to add information about themselves, their company, or their product. The only problem (after they establish their identity) is that in those cases the people tried to add information that greatly contradicted what was covered in the media and in some instances were outright falsehoods that they concocted to fit a specific idea. Granted this is a small minority that was telling outright falsehoods, but it was still visible enough that we need some sort of secondary coverage in reliable sources to back this up. A good way to fix this would be to see if any of the local papers can cover you in a story where they post this information. Just be cautious, as the Daily Bruin (the student newspaper for the University of California) would be considered primary since you represented the UoC last year. However I do need to warn you that if you continue to revert the edits and openly insult other editors via the edit summary, you will most certainly be blocked from editing. Also, while I don't think that you meant it as a legal threat, threatening to report a user to Wikipedia and get them banned for reverting your edits per procedure is not acceptable in any format.
