Welcome![edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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!

Joseph Quinn[edit]

Gooday - I'm unsure if you're aware that this bio has seen much to-ing and fro-ing from fans regarding his alleged birth over the past couple of months. The source you added appears to be a news-aggregator, and may not have interviewed Quinn directly. Unsure therefore if this is reliable source. Got to go now for a few hours and I'll look further later. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 11:38, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry about that! I didn't see your message on Talk:Joseph Quinn (actor). I landed there from the list of popular low-quality articles.

I see an age (28) listed from Vanity Fair, which I would take to be a reliable source. I'll add approximate year. 🌊PacificDepths^talk|contrib 18:18, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It appears as if you accidentally blanked a part of Elihu Yale[edit]

This edit appears to have blanked a substantial portion of the article. Another editor corrected this for us. Please utilize the preview option before saving. Thanks for your help. BusterD (talk) BusterD (talk) 04:53, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi BusterD, it was intentional. I thought the main article was getting too long and I sought to move sections to a new article. In future I can break it up into two edit (one removing text, one adding text) to be clear. 🌊PacificDepths^talk|contrib 17:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't tell clearly from your edit summary. Sorry if I interrupted. It would wise if one swings big elbows when splitting (talk page discussion, clear edit summaries, timely resolution). Thanks for letting me know. BusterD (talk) 17:39, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wise advice, thank you. The major shifting of text was contested and I am in discussions in Talk:Elihu Yale. Personally I feel that the Family and Ancestry portions can be merged with the Family section. I'll make the proposal before taking action. 🌊PacificDepths^talk|contrib 18:22, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: YIMBY Action (September 18)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Some of the sources used do not mention YIMBY Action, others only briefly or are mostly statements by YIMBY Action so are not independent.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:YIMBY Action and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
