Welcome![edit]

Hello, Petergreenhouse, 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:

Thank You![edit]

I'm not sure how to reply to this other than by adding in this text to your original note. I don't consider there is a significant conflict of interest other than a direct personal request to update the page from the page's subject. As she has just taken up a professorship, her students want to research her & her work. I've simply added any new job titles, significant new works or relevant commentaries and updated some weblinks. I've added two commentaries made in 2006 by a deceased author which appear to summarise the work & achievement of the subject in a nutshell. I'm a single, unpaid user of this account. I have striven to retain the objective, purely factual reportage style required by Wikipedia. If there are any points which contravene this style, please let me know.

{{Help me}} I see that you have completely reversed the changes I made to Dr Begikhani's page. There are now several inaccuracies and you've entirely wasted my time spent over the last couple of days. I - and I'm sure, the article's subject - would be grafeful if you could restore any of the alterations I made which are up to Wikipedia's standard requirements: I'd also be grateful if you could demonstrate anything of my editing which is not entirely factual. What's the point of inviting people to edit in a sensible, facxtual & measured way, if you're simply going to undo all the work? Petergreenhouse (talk) 01:17, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please, please, please read Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest policy and Wikipedia's policy regarding neutral point of view, and take further questions to the Teahouse page, where you will get a more timely and iterative response from one of a host of volunteers. We are not here to host a website for an article subject who seeks to dictate what she wants the article to say. We have these policies for a reason. It is not "sensible, [factual or] measured" to add non-neutral, unencyclopedically phrased content, particularly by a conflicted editor—and there is virtually no greater conflict of interest than "a direct personal request to update the page from the page's subject".
Further, your edits are not gone; they are in the article history. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 02:02, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
