Luis De Garrido

Hello Hickory Good. I have created an account with the sole purpose of putting information about me. The information that exists about me in Wikipedia is extremely small and very very partial. What should I do then? 1. Forget about Wikipedia and wait for someone to put anything that comes to mind? 2. Put the most important information about me, perfectly contrasted? It has bothered me a lot that I have erased the information that I have put in and that it took me three weeks to collect,

Therefore, can you give me some advice? .. because if I can not put information, perfectly contrasted about myself? .. who can do it?

Give me some advice, or maybe I better forget about this, since I'm really very upset Luis De Garrido — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luis De Garrido Talavera (talk • contribs) 17:38, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

@Luis De Garrido Talavera: Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. If you have not yet read the welcome message I have put on your page now would be a good time to do so. Moving on, yes you should likely forget about Wikipedia and wait for someone to add sourced content in a neutral manner to your Wikipedia page. What you added was unsourced and Wikipedia is not meant as a resume for your work. As is mentioned on the COI pages, Wikipedia pages are not owned by the subject and you are discouraged from editing it yourself. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:40, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing

Hello, HickoryOughtShirt?4. I've seen you editing recently and you seem like an experienced Wikipedia editor. Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. power~enwiki (π, ν) 16:58, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

@Power~enwiki: Thank you very much for considering me. Personally, I would like a bit more experience to be comfortable but I see myself applying in the near future. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 17:42, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Zhi gang sha edit

Hi, I don't know whether you're one of this dudes supporters or not, but all this guy's accreditation on his page is linked to books that he wrote where he makes these claims without any real reference. This whole page should be reviewed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.233.10.43 (talk) 03:50, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I am a neutral bystander, I have never heard of this guy but this edit [1] violated our verifiability policy and could also use some more neutral wording perhaps. And this edit was reverted for not adhering to a neutral point of view (check out WP:NPOV. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:53, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

The references used for this guy are all form his book...which have no references. I think having this person as a wiki page is potential harmful for the masses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.233.10.43 (talk) 03:56, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

There are a couple things you can do. First, I would suggest writing on the WP:talk page as other editors may have ideas and suggestions on how to improve this article (Wikipedia is all about collaboration after all). You should also find some sources that fall under Wikipedia's reliability policy. This is the best way to improve the article. Finally, please make sure you use a neutral tone (check our WP:NPOV) as this person falls under our biography of a living person policy) no matter what your personal view is.
