User talk:DasGib

Hi, Das Gib and welcome to Wikipedia! Here is a nice plate of warm cookies for you! I hope that you're having a good time editing. I think it's awesome that you're here on Wikipedia.

Now on to your questions--first, it might be a good idea to put some information on your user page about who you are. People will be more helpful if they know a little more about you and your goals. You don't have to give your real name unless you want to. Your edits were well-written--I actually thought you might be a professional trying to promote an event! That was why I deleted both of your edits. The digital media page is really popular and a lot of people try to use it for advertising or content farming. That's my mistake for not assuming good faith.

However, the content would have eventually been challenged on other grounds anyway. Going forward, I would stay away from naming specific people, organizations, or upcoming events, unless other academic or third party sources, like newspapers or academic journals, say that the person or event significant and influential. For example, we know Vannevar Bush was influential because of the way his work was first presented, and because of all the academic writings about him since then. If the digital media event you're attending in the future has some kind of huge impact, then that would be covered in these sources as well. Otherwise it's not notable enough to be included in the article. If you're not sure, you can always check with another editor, or bring it up on the article's talk page, before adding the information.

There are plenty of ways that article could be expanded--for example, in the "impacts" section or the "copyright" section. I've also been thinking about adding a new section on privacy. Those are places where it would be good to have some help.

Here are some more resources on Wikipedia which might be helpful:

And don't worry--some of my first edits were rolled back too, including an article that I was really proud of. It's NBD. If you need any more help, leave me a message on my talk page or just type {{Help me}} on this page and someone will drop by to help. --Libraryowl (talk) 23:33, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Stuartzs, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
