Conflict of interest

Hello, Lightsourcer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Robert M. Goldman, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Spintendo 16:49, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Closely paraphrased material

Your addition to Robert M. Goldman has been removed or altered, as it appears to closely paraphrase a copyrighted source. Limited close paraphrasing or quotation is appropriate within reason, so long as the material is clearly attributed in the text. However, longer paraphrases which are not attributed to their source may constitute copyright violation or plagiarism, and are not acceptable on Wikipedia. Such content cannot be hosted here for legal reasons; please do not upload it. You may use external websites or printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If you own the copyright to the text, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the copyright but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Thank you. Spintendo 16:49, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Spintendo

Thanks for your comments.

Conflict of interest

I do not have COI - I am not employed, nor paid, by the subject of the article.

Closely paraphrased material

I can understand the copyright text issue and deletion. What has been paraphrased is from various sources and listed as the subjects educational and career achievements (the information is difficult to in "my own words"). Do I try to get copyright permission? Who owns the copyright? The subject? or the websites that first published it? How do I determine who published it first and who has ultimate ownership of copyright material as it is a Resume of education and career. Do you suggest I try to get permission for using copyright material or not include in the article?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thnx

I doubt very much that you don't have a conflict of interest. I also doubt that you have carefully read WP:RS. As for copyright, you can't just go around copying from websites who themselves may have just stolen the material. The policy on copyright violations is linked in the message by Spintendo and I suggest you read it. Drmies (talk) 14:15, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Internet induced climate change

The article Internet induced climate change has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Seems to be a neologism without meaningful support; not worth merging into any other climate-change article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 49ersBelongInSanFrancisco (talk) 05:16, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are confusing me, with Internet induced climate change. You put in something today that steers me away from thinking you've made up the whole thing, and then you take out the attribution, but not the ref.

Somehow you need to support the whole premise, that someone *else* has stated the term and given it meaning and scope, which you are explaining using the cites. Otherwise this comes across as a joke. As yet another "if everyone would just stop breathing for ten minutes everything would be so much better!".

First, you must fix up the refs to be inline. Otherwise it just looks like random cites. Go back and tie the statements to the prompting cites. Second, don't link random terms like tsunami and data. It looks like you're playing bingo.

You may have the start of a valid article. Don't doom the article -- get it deleted through WP:AFD -- by presentation resembling an enthusiastic joke. Shenme (talk) 05:48, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your comments, will continue to work on it. Lightsourcer (talk) 06:03, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm FlightTime. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Arnold Schwarzenegger, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! - FlightTime (open channel) 05:20, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
