User talk:Truth-seer

Welcome!

Hello, Truth-seer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Count Flemming Valdemar of Rosenborg ‎, 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 another 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 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Hi Fred,

Thank you for reaching out to me. There is only one person using this account and there is no conflict of interest and no compensation given. I was merely trying to understand why suddenly a person deleted so much information regarding the grandchildren without any reason and changed without any resources to back it up. I would assume it is due to the previous comments made. All I am trying to do is to make things are right and clear any misunderstandings there might have happened. Thank you!

You said you "have known the family personally [your] whole life". If you've known them personally, that certainly falls into the broad category of conflicts of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 03:20, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A person deleted information about these people and I am trying to help the person correct it. They also asked for reliable sources which I can provide which is the whole purpose of wikipedia to bring out the truth Truth-seer (talk) 03:22, 6 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, verifiability is more important than truth. Article content always needs to be cited to reliable published sources that are independent of the topic.

Unpublished personal knowledge and experience, even if it's 100% true, cannot be cited as a source, as that is classified here as unverifiable original research. If information has never appeared in a published source, then it cannot exist on Wikipedia. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:01, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I was referring to actual sources not personal knowledge, hence the reason why I wrote this. Truth-seer (talk) 15:36, 7 March 2018 (UTC) 15:33, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

People have been writing incorrect information referring to this person. Truth-seer (talk) 15:37, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see - thank you for clarifying that. You can check out Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners, Help:Footnotes and Wikipedia:Citation templates to learn how to add references. Best of luck. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:39, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much I greatly appreciate it! Truth-seer (talk) 17:47, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm DrKay. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Count Flemming Valdemar of Rosenborg, 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! Please note that your edits also re-introduced grammatical errors. DrKay (talk) 08:17, 5 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DrKay, Thank you for reaching out to me and correcting any grammatical errors as grammar is not my greatest strength. I have known the family personally my whole life. I have read through all the comments and I would assume you deleted most of the information regarding the grandchildren in order to protect them, since it looks as if you have been a great contributor in the past. I undid your edits as I had thought you were protecting them, as someone had written something untrue about one of the grandchildren. We appreciate that. May I ask where you get the sources for the information you have posted online? Also it seems you have the correct answer for the older brothers yet not for the youngest daughter. It seems as if her children were not mentioned. Please revert it back to the version you had created a while back as that was correct. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
