User talk:Gkabat

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Geoffrey Kabat, 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please read this quote from No legal threats:

"Refrain from making comments that others may understand as a threat. For example, if you repeatedly assert that another editor's comments are "defamatory" or "libelous", that editor might interpret it as a threat. Use less charged wording, such as "that statement about me is false and damaging, and I ask that it be corrected." ♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 20:59, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

I was very clear that I talking about the statements published about our paper by public health scientists. I never said anything threatening to Wikipedia editors. 2601:41:4300:F4E0:11D5:6264:BDA7:87C0 (talk) 21:50, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

But what we are saying is that using that language could have a chilling effect on other editors- especially when written in capital letters. 331dot (talk) 07:38, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Okay, got it. Gkabat (talk) 12:44, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
