User talk:Dunamis44
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Dunamis44, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Your editing of Joanne Etheridge
[edit]I have reverted your edits on the article about Joanne Etheridge. You clearly have a conflict of interest as you have not edited any other articles on Wikipedia and you have provided edit summaries showing that you are acting on instructions from "JE". You have not provided references for a number of the additions you have made, which is a requirement when editing the bio of a living person.
- MOS:POSTNOM clearly states that post-nominals in an infobox should be size=100, not 120
- Infobox edits: moved University of Melbourne from Education to Alma mater; corrected the thesis year, per existing ref; added Lloyd Rees Lecture to infobox but Fellowship is already covered by the post-nominals
- In reverting, I have removed the image that has been tagged for deletion on Wikimedia Commons due to insufficient copyright clarity. If, indeed, copyright is owned by JE either suggest that she herself uploads the image or take it through the OTRS process.
- The procedure for the subject of an article who wishes to have changes made is to place the corrections with references on the article's Talk page. In this case, I was contacted by a third party who had received a Word doc full of edits required. Had that person been able to attend an edit-a-thon where I was assisting I would have explained that such text replacement was not appropriate. If JE wishes, she may request that the article be deleted.
