Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Hello Edcowin, the article you created Pete Flint has a couple of issues, it should have a more neutral tone. In its current form it could be deemed promotional, my advice is that you edit it in advance to avoid deletion or a template. Also you need to make sure to fully source claims like "leveraging his experience in building two billion dollar business in two continents" and also rewrite it in a neutral tone. Welcome and good luck.--Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 17:57, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- I concur, you are coming across as a shill Edcowin. Also, you can't use LinkedIn as a reference, it is a self-published source. Plus the line "Flint wrote the original business plan while backpacking around the world before starting his second year at Stanford" shows a close connection. I saw no reference to his backpacking trip in any of the articles, including the interviews. The Trulia section should be more about his creation and influence on the company and it's performance and less of the Hollywood script. I'd suggest taking a more factual and less personal stab at it before others, including myself, remove it. Pete is notable, no argument there, but being that you created this handle on the same day you only contributed to creating Pete's page is a huge red flag. --OnceaMetro (talk) 14:53, 27 November 2014 (UTC)
