User talk:JohnRHughes

Welcome!

Hello, JohnRHughes, and

welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a

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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see

WP:PAID

).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

Hi JohnRHughes. Welcome to Wikipedia. I have posted the above for your reference based upon your post at

adminstrator

.

If none of the above applies to you, then you still might want to take a look at some of the linked pages anyway because they content other useful information which you might find helpful. Finally, regardless of whether you have a COI, you should take a look at

Wikipedia notability of individuals such as Karp. Wikipedia notability (or lack thereof) is one of the main reasons articles are deleted, so it's important to know what kind of criteria are used to determine whether a person is Wikipedia notable. Karp looks to be Wikipedia notable at first glance, but any article can technically be nominated for deletion at anytime by anyone, so you can never have enough citations to solid sources. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:55, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply
