Al Mar
[edit]Greg,
Thanks for the work on the Al Mar article. Do you have any sources for what you added? By that I mean things that have been published in your books or magazine articles. Everything in wikipedia needs a reliable source. I know you're reliable, but the rest of the world (outside our circle of course) does not. I can help with the formatting, but basicly need title, author, publisher, date, isbn and for magazines the volume and issue. Thanks!--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 16:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Magmaster, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Michael Echanis, 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 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:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of 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

- Specifically I'm wondering if you are Greg Walker. If so, you should read WP:SELFCITE. Along the same lines, did you register as user Walkergreg? If so, you need to look at WP:Multiple accounts. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 21:36, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
