User talk:Rgilber35

Welcome!

Hello, Rgilber35, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Richard Gilbertson, 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, 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.

Hello, I'm Mako001. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Richard Gilbertson, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 08:47, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mako!

Thanks for your interest (and work). I am new to all this - by the way this is Richard Gilbertson typing! I was editing my own page since the PR folks here had not been completely accurate and many references were out of date. I simplified and made accurate the research summary. However, your edits are now actually incorrect. Please can you revert back to my edits from this morning?

Thanks

Hi Mako

Sorry just read your article! I will get our PR group to double check and Edit. Thanks again, I did this because I was just elected to the Royal Society and needed to update ahead of our induction - but the person who handles wiki for us is out of office at the moment.

I will get another person to edit and update as you suggest!

Thanks for your great advice. Rgilber35 (talk) 09:07, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's fine, so long as they know to follow Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly the ones related to advertising and promotion. Also, the awards section should be limited to only a few notable awards, most of them seem to be, but there are a few too many. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 12:11, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
