Welcome!

Hello, Arnold Reisman, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

  • Sorry you've had a bit of a baptism of fire here. General opinion at WP:ANI seems to be that your editing was more a case of not understanding what Misplaced Pages is (and, more importantly, what it is not) than intentional vandalism. Please read the linked pages in this welcome notice which will give you a better understanding of Misplaced Pages. 08:31, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

May 2010

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Misplaced Pages pages, as you did to Ephesus. Advertising and using Misplaced Pages as a "soapbox" is against Misplaced Pages policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Misplaced Pages. Thank you.Template:Do not delete Please see also the WP:COI policy Old Moonraker (talk) 21:05, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Please do not violate Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Leyla Gencer. Thank you. Katieh5584 (talk) 21:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Adding this material across so many articles can only be regarded as spamming and has been reverted. --Old Moonraker (talk) 21:09, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello Dr. Reisman

If you have the marked the pages you just edited on your watch list (that way you get to see what changes get made) you will notice that I made changes in what you had posted in three articles. What I did was called “wikification” and it was putting your book reference in the proscribed Misplaced Pages format. Which puts reference in footnotes at the end of the article. I was surprised to see you show up on three articles that I had bookmarked and was delighted to find your edits. A note of wikicaution. There are editors who object to having identical text show up in different articles, so they may appear, hopefully not. Also it is a good idea to include page numbers, even p. 1 – 275 if need be, because another editor might appear and request them.
On a personal note I am intrigued by your book and as an amateur but very dedicated sculpture historian (with a daughter living in Turkey) I am about to try and interlibrary loan the work since, unfortunately it is out of my current price range. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:43, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Hello Arnold. I don't know how you did it but you posted a message in my archived discussion page. I did not know it could be done, but it showed up on my watchlist anyway. For the record, I am Einar Einarsson Kvaran and I live in Dixon NM, USA. A lot of what I've done over the last few decades is hinted at here. I am currently trying to post my library at a website called Library Thing - now that I think of it, not a bad place for authors, who are all the place there. life is supposed to be interesting and it is.

FDR, etc.

Come to WP:ANI, where I'm logging a complaint about your editing. You can't use wikipedia to promote your book. ←Baseball Bugs carrots→ 03:51, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Your edits were deleted for a number of reasons: the sources are from self-published books, which are not considered to be a reliable source and they appear to be original research. In addition, they are self-promotional. Also note that simultaneously editing under an account name such as User:Arnold Reisman and IP addresses (69.212.158.14 and 69.212.157.183) is also against the rules (see WP:sockpuppetry), and that editors should be very careful about editing articles on subjects on which they have a conflict of interest, which is certaily the case in regard to the article Arnold Reisman. Beyond My Ken (talk) 05:52, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, to clear up some confusion - when editing Misplaced Pages articles, do not use the four tildes that "sign" your username and a date-timestamp. Only use this for signing your comments on talk pages. Beyond My Ken (talk) 06:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

More comments have been entered at Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Arnold_Reisman_book_self-promotion. You are welcome to make your case there. Binksternet (talk) 16:43, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
