User talk:Agnesgerlach

Welcome!

Hello, Agnesgerlach, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Ivan Lindsay, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of Ivan Lindsay

A tag has been placed on Ivan Lindsay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ellington darden

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ellington darden, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Other people's input

There are a number of avenues for getting other people's input as you do not value mine, you can request help at WP:The Teahouse which is possibly the best venue or Wikipedia:Requests for comment or Wikipedia:Third opinion.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Agnesgerlach. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ivan Lindsay, 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 (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 09:28, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wkipedia links

I note you have added more content to the Ivan Lindsay article, that's great, but you have used full url links instead of wiki links for example [College] instead of Eton College. You have also not responded to the conflict of interest question raised by a number of editors. Theroadislong (talk) 16:33, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

September 2019

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Ivan Lindsay. Theroadislong (talk) 20:28, 29 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

You appear to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how Wikipedia operates. Articles on Wikipedia must be adequately supported by independent reliable sources so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources. Commercial links to his own books are not suitable sources and personal communications with others cannot be used, all sources need to have been published.

Book mentions need ISBN numbers. David notMD (talk) 20:00, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews as refs

Interviews as references are not considered reliable sources because the person being interviewed is making statements about themself. Neither the content nor the fact that they were interviewed counts toward establishing Wikipedia's concept of notability. This is standard practice for all articles about people.

If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. -Liance^{talk/contribs} 22:02, 4 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
