Question from Dgonzal8nscc (12:40, 5 December 2024)
editGood morning, I am wondering what I need to do to get some help on edits I am doing on an article for a college page. There is someone who continues to undo all my edits and the information that is currently there is not accurate. --Dgonzal8nscc (talk) 12:40, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Dgonzal8nscc, welcome to Wikipedia! Since you're an employee of the college you have a conflict of interest, and I highly recommend reading Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I noticed that you've started a conversation with another editor on the talk page, and I'd advise you continue to work with them there to resolve the issues, if you need an extra pair or eyes please ping me a message and I'll drop by!
- Since you have a COI, you need to request edits to a page that you're connected to. You can do this at Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard, this will then be reviewed by one of the edit request reviewers (I'm one too, so if you have trouble please feel free to message me!) who will decide if it should be added, or provide feedback to improve it.
- The welcome message on your talk page may also be helpful in starting out as well!
- If you have any questions I'm here to help! Encoded Talk 💬 00:37, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
Citation needed banners
editYou may think sticking such banners on articles is a useful thing, I do not. Essentially, it is just saying that something is incomplete, but I cannot be bothered to fix it. Instead I will stick a great big ugly banner on an article and some other schmuck can do the work. Try fixing problems, rather than just highlighting them. Then you will be doing something that is really useful. Urselius (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, please may I ask which articles you are referring to? It may be that I did not have time to complete the section but still wished to flag it for later, which is what these banners may be used for. Instead of posting messages like these on my talk page may I suggest that if you have a problem with the banner, you may decide to resolve the issue, or instead place a polite message reminding me to go back over it, then you will be doing something that is really useful.
