User talk:Hagybear

Welcome!

Hello, Hagybear, and welcome to Wikipedia!

It appears that you may have a conflict of interest with the topic you wish to edit, such as your edits to Hagay Mizrahi. 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.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Autobiographies are strongly discouraged

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Hagay Mizrahi. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. — Sam Sailor 13:09, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was writing the following message when you just posted your messages saying "yes i just did" and asking for help, and now you have posted that, my message may be less relevant, but having written it I may as well let you see it anyway (or at least a cut-down version of it, as I have removed stuff specifically relating to the paid editor that you have now indicated you won't be using again). I am also removing your email address, because posting your email address to a publicly visible page on Wikipedia is really not a good idea. I see that you have got Wikipedia email enabled in your account settings, so Sam will be able to email you by using Wikipedia's email service if he wants to, and that does not need your email address to be publicly visible. However, having said that, if the help you are asking for is about re-creating the article about yourself, I advise you to consider very carefully whether you wish to put more time and effort into that, for reasons explained in the message below.

I have no doubt that you started by sincerely thinking that getting a Wikipedia article about yourself would be a good and perfectly legitimate way of publicising yourself and your work. Many people do come here thinking that is an acceptable thing to do. However, it isn't, for three reasons. (1) Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion. (2) Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest indicate that articles should not be created by people with a personal connection to the subject of the article, such as being paid by the subject of the article. (2) As you have already been told by at least two editors (including myself), there does not seem to be sufficient evidence that you satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and if you don't then any article about you, no matter who writes it or how it is written, is likely to be deleted, so continually having the article re-created will be nothing but a waste of time and effort that could be better spent publicising yourself somewhere other than Wikipedia.
