User talk:Michael Eury

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Michael Eury, 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 another 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.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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 edits to Michael Eury

Hi Michael Eury! Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you made edits to the article Michael Eury. However, these edits did not conform to our policies on biographies of living people; specifically, you removed content that was referenced and replaced with with content that was not. I also note that your username shows that an obvious conflict of interest concern. I would also take the time to review Wikipedia's policies on original research as well, as citing (even indirectly) "personal first-hand knowledge" of the article subject (yes, even if it's yourself) - isn't allowed. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the policies that I've referenced and provided for you here. I'll be happy to answer them. Thank you for understanding, and I welcome you to Wikipedia. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:03, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Michael: I echo what Oshwah said--the edit didn't totally conform to our various policies about referencing information, but this is something that can be worked out by way of reliable sources--see WP:RS. Information, especially about living people, needs to be reliable sourced. Also, please make sure you don't edit while logged out: it reveals your IP address. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 22:29, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

Some points:

"Regarding my employment at DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics, it cites my reasons for leaving the companies without mentioning any of my accomplishments there."

I wrote it based on what I found in published sources. At the time, I was able to find sources in which you listed your reasons for leaving those companies; I was not able to find published sources for your more detailed accomplishments. We can certainly incorporate more data into the article - a bibliography, for instance.

"the entry is out of date, ignoring much of my work of the past decade"

Updating it is fine. We can even source some of it to your own website if that's available, since there's enough separate, independent media coverage of you to indicate notability (plus most people who worked for the Big Two are considered to have de facto notability).

But yes, it'll be better if you put your proposed revisions on talk:Michael Eury. DS (talk) 00:44, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
