User talk:Jllman

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Jeff L. Lieberman, which appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• 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

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Jeff L. Lieberman. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. Ahecht (TALK

Proposed deletion of Jeff L. Lieberman

The article Jeff L. Lieberman has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Autobiography

Please read WP:AUTO - "Writing an autobiography on Wikipedia is an example of conflict of interest editing and is strongly discouraged. Editing a biography about yourself is acceptable only if you are removing unambiguous vandalism or clear-cut and serious violations of our biography of living persons policy." I very strongly suggest that you refrain from editing Jeff L. Lieberman, and that (if it is not deleted) you comment on its accuracy on the article talk page, so that other independent editors can ensure that it conforms to Wikipedia guidelines.

Seriously. Edits like this are a really, really bad idea. How much of that is based on independent, reliable sources? Ghmyrtle (talk) 19:40, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your corrections and for pointing out the guidelines. The article now has 36 newspaper, magazine and radio references from traditional media sources and all the information contained on the page, comes from those articles, and is carefully quoted or sourced. A previous version of the page was saved without references by accident, as there was a break in the creation of the work, and didn't realize this would be submitted so quickly. The copyright on the photos will be re-submitted so there is no confusion over the source or usage. Many thanks for the great editing by all who have commented.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jllman. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Bella!, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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. DanCherek (talk) 06:14, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Please see WP:DONATETEXT for information about granting permission to copy material already online as the copyright holder. Particularly, IMDb is not public domain by default, and synopses that are copied verbatim from there are regularly removed from Wikipedia. DanCherek (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
