User talk:Davidjr25

Welcome!

Hello, Davidjr25, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

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

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

Hi there,

Appreciate your note on my page! If you wouldn't mind, could you provide a little more information for me? I did not disclose that I had been in contact with management before all of my edits were reverted, so I'm still not sure why that happened. Is there a reason for that?

Also, I'm not being paid my Yebba's management, and I did source all of the information from independent sources as shown by the references I put in. You mentioned that there may be a path forward for my changes to be accepted if someone reviewed them? How would I go about doing that?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Davidjr25. I've moved the discussion you started on my user talk page here because keeping everything in one place will make it easier for others to follow and participate. I added the above template based upon what you posted at Wikipedia:Teahouse#Why did I get reverted? since you seem to imply that you were editing on behalf of Yebba's management. If that's not the case, and then you can ignore the template if you like (though you might still find some of the pages it links to helpful).

As for the edits made to Yebba that were reverted, you can ask Killarnee (the editor who reverted them for more details), but most likely the changes were undone because Killarnee did not think they were in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. The edits were made by IP accounts so Killarnee had no way of knowing who was making them, and nobody would've known it was you who made them (if that's truly the case) if you hadn't implied as much in your Teahouse post. So, they weren't reverted because you had been contact with Yabba's management. Now, if you do have what Wikipedia considers to be a conflict of interest, then you should try and avoid directly editing the article and follow WP:COIADVICE and WP:PSCOI#Steps for engagement instead. If you'd to like to specifically discuss what Killarnee found unsuitable about your edits with them, then you can start a discussion at Talk:Yebba and let them know about the discussion by adding a Template:Please see to their user talk page. Perhaps through discussion you'll be better able to understand why Killarnee reverted the edits and figure out whether there's a way to incorporate the changes you want to make in a more appropriate way.

One thing to remember is that Wikipedia articles are written about subjects, not for subjects or on behalf of subjects; so, neither the subjects of articles nor their representatives have any final editorial control over article content. Article content is to be assessed based upon relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and anything not deemed to be in compliance with those policies and guidelines can be removed at anytime by anyone. When that happens, the thing to do is follow Wikipedia:Dispute resolution if you disagree with the removal, and to try and sort things out through article talk page discussion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:56, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Yebba Followup

Moved from User talk:Killarnee § Yebba Followup

Hello,

I recently made some edits to correct errors on the Yebba page. There were several wording errors so I spent time rewriting the sections and reformatting the tables to make them more robust with independent sourcing. It looks like all of my changes were reverted. Would you mind telling me why it was reverted and how, if possible, I can have my changes reinstated?

Thank you!

Hello Davidjr25, I have undone your edits for various reasons, some reasons have already been mentioned in the Teahouse and in the discussion above. Most of all I saw what was also marked by a filter, extraneous markup and vandalism. That was, for example, the gallery placed at the beginning, some incorrect link changes and a lot of syntax errors. In addition, a total of 57 versions were created during the editing! Please use the preview, otherwise the version history becomes confusing and the servers are overloaded. You are welcome to improve the articles, but please read the most important help pages (which have already been linked above) and stick to the rules. You also said you were hired to do the editing. In this case, please do not edit as an IP and indicate that you will be paid. In addition, you should always report on the discussion page, especially when there are major changes, and it is best not to make the changes yourself, but rather to suggest the changes first in order to avoid a conflict of interest. If you have further questions, please feel free to contact me by inserting the template {{ping|Killarnee}} under this section or you can ask your question in the Teahouse.
