Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment they left was:

Speedy deletion nomination of Jack The Ripper Forums[edit]

Hello HRBrown,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Jack The Ripper Forums for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 22:10, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, HRBrown. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.

Unblocking My Account[edit]

I recognize and apologize for my actions which led to my blocking. They will not happen again. I will follow the guidelines of Wikipedia from this point forward. I also would like to continue contributing wherever possible on Wikipedia under the 'screen name' I employ, HRBrown. I sincerely forgot that an account 'HowieNina' still existed, apparently.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, HRBrown. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Carrie Brown (murder victim), you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

Dear Dr. Kay:

On the Carrie Brown (murder victim) page, would it be permissible to simply mention the name of the following website with the URL ?

Murder In The East River Hotel at https://carriebrown.createaforum.com/index.php

Thanks

Howard HRBrown (talk) 22:25, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We hardly ever link to forums per WP:SPS and WP:ELNO. DrKay (talk) 08:19, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply, Dr. Kay.

Casebook.org has been on Wikipedia for over two decades and that crime site is a forum. This is their URL on Wikipedia :

http://forum.casebook.org/

In any event, instead of my forum site being added...may I use my 'repository' site's URL which is : www.carriebrown.net ?

It isn't a discussion site but rather a repository of data related to the Brown murder.

Thank you. HRBrown (talk) 09:21, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where and as permitted by Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, yes. DrKay (talk) 09:59, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dr Kay. I added the link.

Much appreciated.

How Brown HRBrown (talk) 19:57, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How on earth can a site such as Casebook ( A forum, mind you) be allowed on Wikipedia when the name of the owner, just as my site, is clearly featured on its front page, yet mine not allowed ? Double standard much ? Mind you, I see no issue with Casebook or any crime Forum...like Websleuths being on Wikipedia...yet you people give me a hard time. I don't get it.

How in the hell can this addition to Wikipedia be deleted when the individual mentioned has been dead since 1906, if that was the reasoning in removing it ?

"Damon was the New Jersey businessman who resisted turning in the key to Room 31 left by an employee at his home in Cranford (NJ ) for a decade before being advised by John R. Lee, Paterson contractor, to turn it in to the proper authorities. This, along with the influence of the French Consulate and several affidavits provided by reporters who had been at the hotel immediately following Brown's murder, led to the eventual release of Ameer Ben Ali, who was not pardoned but rather deported to France in April 1902.

There is nothing whatsoever 'speculative' about this statement.

I don't expect a reasonable answer from you or any of the 'editors'. Just don't expect a contribution when Jimmy sends me the 10th email begging for bread. HRBrown (talk) 17:05, 10 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

December 2022[edit]

Do not add personal information about other contributors to Wikipedia without their explicit permission. Wikipedia operates on the principle that every contributor has the right to remain completely anonymous. Posting personal information about another user is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's harassment policy. Wikipedia's policy on this issue is strictly enforced and your edits have been reverted and/or suppressed, not least because such information can appear on web searches. Wikipedia's privacy policy is to protect the privacy of every user, including you. Persistently adding personal information about other contributors will result in being blocked from editing. DrKay (talk) 08:32, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Kay

I wasn't harassing your fellow editor...only pointing out that the person in question engaged in a violation of your policies. I know Wikipedia ( this isn't personal between us ) will look the other way when it comes to one of your own.

I added a link to a site on Friday night, CarrieBrown.Net which is not a forum, which Websleuths is. You cannot make posts on the Net site, rather it is a repository of information culled from a number of people, one of whom is me. How is this less tolerable on Wikipedia than the inclusion of a website, the aforementioned Websleuths, which is nothing but a forum/message board ? Do you not see the point I'm making ?

If you were in my 'shoes', you'd see the injustice clearly when other people can add links to material they wrote or had published and I'm not allowed. I've no idea why the entry ( carriebrown murder victim) attracted attention

to this degree.
