[edit] Npov Notice

First of, nice work on the Ron Holloway article. It certainly looks pretty good now. However, i feel inclined to warn you to keep the article inside the WP:NPOV guidelines. In short it means that text such as "The Great Trumpeter" and in general and quality words such as "The Best", "Number one" and "The Greatest" should not be used in articles, as they state a persons opinion, not a certainty. With kind regards, Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 10:10, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

  • That last edit was perfect, a lot better then mine. Also, i noticed you removed the }} a few times. This }} is used to denote the end of an infobox (The box with the picture and the info). You wont see it in the text, as the wikipedia parser will just translate it into the appropriately infobox HTML. Keep up the good work, and if you need any assistance, feel free to contact me :) --Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 10:26, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Potential conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ron Holloway, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

[edit] Are you?

Are you Ron Holloway? I came to this userpage because I was curious (based on your edit history) and noticed that someone else left you the above message for basically the same reason. If you are in fact Mr. Holloway, please know that you are welcome to edit here (and we're glad to have you). If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, or how to add things without getting them deleted, feel free to ask me on my talkpage by clicking on the "76" in my signature. Welcome to Wikipedia -- Keeper | 76 19:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, got your message - glad you're here! Keep up the good editing. As you know, you are welcome to edit ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING you want. If you get to a random page, see that a comma is missing, you can add it, no questions asked. It tends to get rather addicting though, so if you're a busy man you may not want to start..:-)
My only advice to you really is to be careful not to add "personal stuff" to your own article. First reason, of course, is because millions of people can read it. You may not want everyone knowing that much about you. The second reason is because millions of people can edit it. That means anyone can change anything you add for any reason, at any time. Because this article is about you, some editors may decide that you shouldn't be editing your own article because of the guidelines. You can read these by clicking here: WP:OWN WP:COI WP:POV. While I think the guidelines are important, I'll also say that there is no one who knows you like you do. Just be sure that the things you are adding are things you'd want other people to know. Don't use words like "I'm the best...." and "Renowned" and "Greatest". It will make other editors jump all over you, which gets stressful.
Again, glad you're here. If you've got other questions, just punch the "76" ! Keeper | 76 20:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey Mr. Holloway, haven't checked in with you in a while. Hope you're doing well. I just looked at the article you've been focused on and have to say it's looking really good (in my opinion). One thing I'd be careful of though is making the article too long. By making it so large, you may be drawing unwanted attention to yourself, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone (not me) stumbles into it and seriously edits it down (removes information). I recommend looking for other articles that you can edit, other interests unrelated to your "real life" and editing those for awhile. The Ron Holloway article is good, but since you are the only editor, it's only a matter of time before someone brings up a conflict of interest argument against you. I'd hate to see that happen because you've worked so hard to make it reflect your accomplishments. If you look at the conflict of interest page, you'll see that the way to get an article about yourself written is to let someone else write it. Just some friendly advice, move on to other things and enjoy Wikipedia! Cheers my friend, Keeper | 76 21:53, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
