Hi UnsungKing123 I believe that the photo change is relevant. The article previously referenced the topic of the photo removed and now no longer does. The topic of the photo which replaced the one taken down is referenced in the article.
A belated welcome
[edit]Hi Drsammyjohnson. Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.
Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.
Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.
If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.
Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.
I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 15:31, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Ongoing noticeboard discussion + request for help
[edit]Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that this subject has an ongoing discussion on the noticeboard. Several editors have stepped in to look over pages I have edited and I have requested help on several of the articles. I have received no talk page discussions or help from the tagger (despite requests) who added me to this notice board - so any input from other editors on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Manny Pacquiao
[edit]The "Boxing career" section in Manny Pacquiao is just a summary as there’s a main article for his career (which is linked at the top of the aforementioned section, just below the section header), Boxing career of Manny Pacquiao. – 2.O.Boxing 22:18, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- @Squared.Circle.Boxing: I did see that - but as this is his personal page, shouldn't the boxing section be more robust? The boxing section on his page has equal weight with the basketball section, even though he is known primarily for boxing. I agree it doesn't need to be as detailed as the Boxing Career Page. But I'm confused that this page doesn't even mention his most notable fights - ones people would recognize. For a casual onlooker, the page seems unbalanced because of this. Thoughts?

Warning
[edit]I'm not sure what you have in mind. But you can't very well just willy nilly delete swaths of text supported by RS refs.[1] Without any rational reason at all. As well as inlining that is proper as well as MOS editing that is proper. Please take this as a warning. And revert. --2603:7000:2143:8500:31B5:246A:5626:EDCA (talk) 00:49, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Drsammyjohnson. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Sean Rad, 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 or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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. Tangledupinbleu chs (talk) 10:54, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
- Tangledupinbleu chs This is a wild accusation and quite unfair. None of my edits demonstrate this and I demand you retract. This is a serious accusation.
- Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the information you keep reverting to should not be in the lead. Being named in a lawsuit brought against a company (MATCH/IAC) does not constitute a significant controversy for a BLP lead. Additionally, the information in the lead is INCORRECT. He wasn't fired, he returned as CEO in 2016 and was Chairman until 2017. In addition, the quotes were not attributed to him they were attributed to his co-founder - also making this lead INCORRECT. Please READ the source material before making accusations. It could be interpreted that you have specific intentions given the nature of fly-by editing on this page. I will add more context on the Sean Rad talk page.

Ashley Flowers + new draft tone
[edit]I have written several new page drafts recently - including 2 I have yet to publish. My most recent one Ashley Flowers was flagged for being paid (it was not). However, the page content was severely culled by another editor. I truly believe the original version was MUCH better. It was a well rounded and thought out page. It included relevant facts backed up by great sources. The editor even took out information that was not controversial (having a baby) and edited the headings. I think the page length was cut in half. I would really appreciate someone else's views on these edits to the page I spent so much time writing. I feel as if it's been mauled and is a much worse page than it was originally. If I'm incorrect, can anyone help me better understand what the issue was? When I compare the original to other pages - I just don't see a difference. Thank you to anyone who can help. I have other pages I'm working on currently but would like to address any style issues I have before publishing.
20:19, 2 October 2022 (UTC)DrSammyJohnson Drsammyjohnson (talk) 20:19, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Just a few points, as I'll respond on the talk page of the article shortly. You can see the different edit notes for explanations of what was removed or changed and why.
- It was flagged for potentially being paid. There is a difference.
- How is it more well-rounded when the article was biased more in favor of Flowers regarding the plagiarism, which made national news publications and rocked the true crime podcasting world?
- Regarding the page being cut in half: I haven't compared word count, nor do I care to, but why would reducing the length distress you? Is it not better to be succinct rather than verbose? I removed some information that wasn't directly related to Flowers becaus this is a BLP.
- Several of the sources you used were not reliable... and others that were included I would hardly call "great". When poor-quality sources are removed, the information (having a baby) will be as well. If you want to add a reliable source for her having a baby, etc., then do so.
- Headings: Edited for flow and to have fewer subsections. Much of what was included related not to the activities of Flowers directly but to a nonprofit she founded; remember that this is a BLP, not an article on a business.
- Don't compare one article to another. Don't do something just because someone else has done it unless you know it is OK. DiamondRemley39 (talk) 21:00, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
