Information icon Hello, I'm Rsjaffe. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ravinder Kumar seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — rsjaffe 🗣�� 06:22, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

[edit]

You deleted my article about 'Ravinder Kumar.' There wasn't any article there before, just some internal links that I was keeping. You deleted that as well. Please restore it as it was. I want to reach people with the best quality. The article I am writing is about a social worker who I have seen helping people. Shouldn't we write about such people?

You hijacked a preexisting disambiguation page. If the person you’re writing about meets the notability requirement, you can start writing a new article. See the notice I left about hijacking articles for more info. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 11:18, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting authorization to update the Lally School Wikipedia page

[edit]

Hello Rory Jaffe,

I am assistant professor at the RPI Lally School (Sebastian Souyris, https://faculty.rpi.edu/sebastian-souyris) and want to do a big update the Lally Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lally_School_of_Management). Much of the existing information is old. Can you please allow me to do it?

Thank you very much, Sebastian Souyris S124816 (talk) 04:56, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have a conflict of interest but are not a paid editor, given your position at the school. You can edit the page directly but you must follow the WP:NPOV policy and need to have appropriate sources for your edits, which generally have to be third-party independent sources, not the school’s own writing. See WP:PRIMARY for rules about using the school’s own website as a source. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 06:11, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please also follow WP:COI. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 06:33, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your guidance, rsjaffe. I will edit the page following the WP:NPOV policy, WP:PRIMARY rules, and WP:COI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S124816 (talk • contribs) 15:20, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dock street brewing company

[edit]

hello, I am wondering why you deleted my recent updates to the page. I am the founder of Dock Street. The information I added and corrected is factually correct and only effected the period during which I was active. Jdwareone (talk) 20:16, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:UNSOURCED. You are welcome to include information (but be aware of the conflict of interest policy), but it needs sources to verify it. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:42, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, but I am the primary source of much of the information - this was my life and work I am referencing. I'm not sure how I can document a fact such as where we bought a piece of brewing equipment almost 35 years ago. This was all pre-internet days. I am aware of the conflict of interest policy, but again, I was the founder and president of the company from 1985 intil it was sold in 1998. I am also the person who reacquired it in 2000 before giving it to the current owner. Jdwareone (talk) 23:10, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia strongly limits the use of primary sources. See WP:PRIMARY. In particular, Do not add unsourced material from your personal experience, because that would make Wikipedia a primary source of that material. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 23:56, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have done a careful revision and have found sources to cite. I have not attempted to publish it yet. In a few cases, I would also be deleting current citations and replacing them with older citations that are more accurate or complete. Is this OK? I will also be adding new citations. Jdwareone (talk) 22:31, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it would. Thanks for the effort in updating the article. I know what we require is difficult, particularly for those who have first-hand experience in the topic, but it is how we maintain the accuracy and integrity of the encyclopedia. As an involved person, it's easy to not write in a neutral point of view. Be careful that you don't include judgemental language (positive or negative). I find that scrutinizing and/or minimizing adjectives and adverbs helps greatly in that effort. I'll try to review it after it is written and address any issues I see.— rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:36, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks. I understand your points. Jdwareone (talk) 22:39, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting of my edits on Niall J. English

[edit]

Hi @Rsjaffe, I added a publication section on Niall J. English's page. I might have accidently removed something, I am sorry about that. Also, I wanted to ask someone, does publications require citations as well? I believe I have seen a fair amount of academics' pages, and a lot of them don't have citations to their publication. Also, can I add it again, if there is no issue with adding the section? Kindly, guide me in this regard. Thanks. Tac91 (talk) 23:18, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Generally don’t need citations for publications as it’s easy enough to confirm without a citation. Yes, I deleted your edit because it deleted another section that should have remained. I would only put in notable publications. I don’t know if there’s any rule about publications list in a biography, but I definitely would avoid adding a lot of them. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 23:56, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thank you a lot. Tac91 (talk) 00:23, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just saw your edits. Each publication should at least include the journal, issue and pages, and probably best to include author list. In short, should look like references in a scientific publication. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 01:00, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thank you. I will write it like you have suggested. Thank you. Tac91 (talk) 01:06, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
