Hello Noncanonical. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Douglas Youvan, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 20:13, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- You have a clear conflict of interest and you want to add a commercial link to a just published e-book by Youvan? I think you need to seriously review what Wikipedia is not here to market and promote your products. RegardsTheroadislong (talk) 20:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
- Please Assume Good Faith on the part of other editors; an editor can disagree with you on a point of procedure without attacking you or your beliefs. In particular, your edit here could be viewed as a personal attack, characterizing another editor as being hostile to you (and the subject) merely for disagreeing with your interpretation of policy. Such edits can be seen as disruptive, and do absolutely nothing to resolve the underlying concerns about the edit and/or the article. Do also be mindful of the notice above; you have a declared conflict of interest (your involvement with the subject's foundation), and must therefore tread very carefully. If you have questions about what you should and should not edit as a result of your conflict of interest, it may be helpful to seek advice at the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Douglas Youvan, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. You removed signatures to other editor's contributions. Crowsnest (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Talk:Millennium Prize Problems do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Crowsnest (talk) 14:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Douglas Youvan. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Crowsnest (talk) 23:27, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Conflict of interest
[edit]This sounds familiar: e.g. User talk:Nukeh#Blocked for legal threats, Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Nukeh and Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nukeh/Archive. Are you Douglas Youvan? -- Crowsnest (talk) 22:36, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
No. What is your name? I stated my conflicts immediately on my User Page. Where is your list of conflicts? You would claim to have none? Noncanonical (talk) 22:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hmmm. I stay away from edits with a conflict of interest. I mainly edit -- as a hobby -- in the area where I have my professional expertise, but add no self-citations, nor does my editing affect in any sense the funding of my research. -- Crowsnest (talk) 23:24, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- Did you see the giant apology Youvan made to you a few months ago on Commons? He also made a nice figure for you based on your Dutch name. Also, you might see from my edits that he has corrected his recent e-book to cite previous work that was unknown to him. That is honesty. And it is verification of the other guy's work on time dilation and P v NP. If you leave those book citations up on his profile, I will disappear from that article and go work on something else, like Fourier Transforms. Those articles are too difficult to read and need lower-level entry paragraphs. Also, I still don't understand ISBN look ups on WP. That's another possible job for me.

- Funny. I would say that you are a genious and prolific, no joke. You edit almost everyday, all day. It's hard to believe that you are just one person. However, your hatred of Youvan has landed you here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Douglas_Youvan . Why don't you do the right thing, fix up this biography giving reference to Youvan's books as something other the Spam, and I will go on my way. I never want to edit on this article again, nor do I want to deal with you. Noncanonical (talk) 01:53, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
