Hi Wikipedia Help friends

My Occupy London friends are keen that I reask permission to start a page on Co-operative Socialism. A thread in that regard can be found at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:John_courtneidge

The term 'Co-operative Socialism' has both a history (eg in its usage by Robert Owen, by the Guana Co-operative Republic and now as a plan to develop the concept of both the Co-operative Commonwealth and the Co-operative Commonweal.

Please reinstste the page so that I, we and others can devolop an account of both the history and present use of this term.

Thanks, inand for co-operatio - and thus equality,m equity and peace

It appears that you have repeatedly created a draft on Draft:Cooperative Socialism, and that you then don't work on it, and it is repeatedly deleted after 6 months. At this point the administrators whom you are asking to restore your draft may be skeptical of you saying that you really plan to finish it this time. Why not just start it over from your own notes in 2016? Robert McClenon (talk) 17:42, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is very incomplete, consisting only of a title and a date of birth, and has not been submitted. Do you have a question about how to work on it? Robert McClenon (talk) 17:43, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I need to know exactly what I need to do in order for this article to be accepted. How do I get 'reliable sources' for an autobiography? Jean Jackson has written the article and I'm the one publishing it. All her books have been published by the National Library of New Zealand and we have cited it as a reference. What else should I do?

Thanks,

-Yani

@JeanJacksonNZ: Please see our conflict of interest (and specifically WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY) and verifiability policies. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. We don't publish autobiographies. You should also change your username, as impersonating somebody else is not permitted. Joe Roe (talk) 00:52, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Wikipedia Help Desk, I may have a conflict of interest with the article 'Michael B. Bracken.' However, I believe it is a general conflict of interest. I work at the Yale School of Public Health, a non-profit organization of higher learning. How and where can I declare the COI? Best, LENK2121 LENK2121 (talk) 21:14, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for respecting our COI policy, LENK2121. I have added a note to Talk:Michael B. Bracken stating that you are a connected contributor, which should be sufficient. Please take care if you intend to edit this article: unless you are making a clearly uncontroversial edit (like reverting vandalism), it is best that you ask other editors to make changes on your behalf using the article's talk page.
