Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Theodore Ritch, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Louise and Charles Marshall ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, Douglasburton. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on the page
John Adams (composer), 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, colleagues, 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- 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. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:John_Adams_(composer)&diff=1040819101&oldid=1040793457 Walter Görlitz ( talk) 05:03, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
- Thank you for your message. On the John Adams talk page, you say you will let "other editors" make the determination. This has already been done, and is exactly why I referred you to that discussion in the first place.
- Briefly, back in March of 2018, a complaint was made, and there was a long discussion on the Wikipedia Administrator's Noticeboard. Several editors got involved, and it was explained who I am and what I was doing. After quite a few comments, the (senior?) editors said things like, "We should be a little more circumspect before jumping to the conclusion that an editor is a spammer or copyright violator. These edits appear to have been made in good faith and the collected interviews are a valuable resource for the various subjects."
- Another editor said, "I've checked it out... no ads, no products, no sales. This is OK and I don't see any real promotion or problem. It is an archive of interviews."
- Yet another said, "I think these links add value. These interviews are actually quite valuable in my opinion, and to lose them would be a net negative to the project."
- A further editor said, "Frankly, this (complaint) should never have been brought here."
- Finally, the comment was made, "Since this (discussion) has run its course, I request we close with no action, except perhaps a trout for the filer (complainer, who should send) a brief apology to all concerned. Thanks for sharing your lovely interviews. Cheers!"
- Since that time, I have continued exactly as before, so that adjudication should continue to suffice.
- I hope that you now understand, and will allow this consensus to remain.
- Thanks again. Douglasburton ( talk) 09:34, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Douglasburton
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 User:Douglasburton, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello, I'm
Ruy. I wanted to let you know that one or more of
your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional.
Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "
soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a
neutral perspective. Take a look at the
welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Ruy (

- As someone else noted, this is not advertising or promotion, but a disclaimer. I was told by other editors to say exactly what is in that sentence. They also said to explain other COI and copyright details. This is what I have done. A previous discussion (in March of 2018 on the Administrators' Noticeboard) led to a consensus that my material was of sufficient interest to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. I hope this answers your questions and allows this page to remain. Thanks. Douglasburton ( talk) 03:35, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

- As someone else noted, this is not advertising or promotion, but a disclaimer. I was told by other editors to say exactly what is in that sentence. They also said to explain other COI and copyright details. This is what I have done. A previous discussion (in March of 2018 on the Administrators' Noticeboard) led to a consensus that my material was of sufficient interest to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia. I hope this answers your questions and allows this page to remain. Thanks. Douglasburton ( talk) 03:35, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
