Thanks. I am just trying to make sure that all the facts on stories are accurate. Any guidance is appreciated

September 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm TechnoSquirrel69. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Benjamin Wey, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 23:04, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I believe the pdf of the legal dismissal is a reliable source. Please clarify why that does not meet the standard Wiki is looking for.

Hey there; I'm assuming you're TruthmanNYC. According to the biographies of living persons policy — specifically the section on primary sources — court documents are not acceptable sources for claims related to living people. By the way, if you are TruthmanNYC, I'd recommend you stay logged in while editing so other editors can identify you when you make changes or leave comments in discussions. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:18, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your advice. Clearly, the case against Mr. Wey was dropped. What other information can I supply to show that? If the goal of Wiki is to be accurate than this information should be included. Any help appreciated. TruthmanNYC (talk) 14:27, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This kind of information needs to be provided by reliable sources; for example, an article in a reputably published news source would be acceptable in this situation. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 14:31, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Who determines that the new articles we have listed are not reputable? I am not sure why this is such a challenge given that we have the legal papers and news articles. Help me understand. Thanks TruthmanNYC (talk) 19:55, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please click on the links I've provided in my previous messages and read through those policies and guidelines; they should help you understand the standards on Wikipedia regarding sourcing and especially regarding living people. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:08, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have regained faith in the Wikipedia platform. Thank you TruthmanNYC (talk) 20:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, TruthmanNYC. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 organizations 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. GeneralNotability (talk) 15:52, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the challenge I am having with the structure of Wikipedia. There are a million rules to prevent content that for whatever reason an editor might object to it is blocked. Even if it is the truth and documented. I am not sure who is blocking this content and for what reason but it seems that all of the editors would be looking to ensure that the content posted was accurate. Diving in depth to a legal matter without putting the conclusion of that matter says to the reader that the person was guilty when in fact they were not. The damage is done and Wikipedia is part and parcel of delivering the incorrect information. I challenge you to find any information that states that the case was not dropped. Let's work together to get the facts straight.

Once again I thank you for all your support and input TruthmanNYC (talk) 21:58, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
