Revision as of 07:38, 15 December 2019

Welcome!

Hello, La vérité gagne, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

• Introduction and Getting started
• Contributing to Misplaced Pages
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article
• Simplified Manual of Style

You may also want to complete the Misplaced Pages Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Misplaced Pages. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing 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 for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Asaram, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that.

• don't remove references just because they do not "work" for you - this is never helpful - if you don't want to fix the reference yourself then leave it for somebody who does - by removing it entirely you break the audit trail, make information less verifiable and traceable, and damage the article - see WP:DEADLINK Begoon 02:57, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Begoon Thanks for letting me know about it as I was not aware that even if link is broken we should not remove it. La vérité gagne (talk) 03:03, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

All you needed to do was alter a parameter, like I did with this edit, to mark the link as not currently active, yet leave the content accessible and verifiable at the archive address. -- Begoon 03:13, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Got it Begoon. Thanks! La vérité gagne (talk) 03:15, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, La vérité gagne. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Asaram, 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 Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Misplaced Pages'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 Misplaced Pages:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ∯WBG 07:00, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

I don't have any conflict of interest. I just want Wiki to be a neutral page. If you read that article it seems totally negative. La vérité gagne (talk) 15:36, 14 December 2019 (UTC)
