:Hi Jytdog, many thanks for your message. As for my person, I'm a conservative with a general interested in US politics and people involved but I without any links to GOP, PR, PACs, etc. |

:Many of the articles I've published were inspired by the article [[Political appointments by Donald Trump]] and its numerous red links. It was my mistake to think that all people listed in the article would be notable due to the fact that they’ve been presidential appointees. Sorry for that. I've also started to publish other GOP-related articles, e.g. on state chairs. As far as I understand these chairs are notable. But I am not sure anymore, so I will publish my latest article on Wyoming's state chair in my sandbox. Please review and let me know your thoughts. Thank you!--[[User:Biografix|Biografix]] ([[User talk:Biografix#top|talk]]) 11:19, 14 June 2018 (UTC) |

Welcome!
Hi, Biografix. Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Our intro page contains a lot of helpful material for new users—please check it out! If you need help, visit Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or .

Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Michael Rigas. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:57, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
- Biografix, I think you need to take a second look at the Tony Tooke article and try to rewrite it in your own words... or at least add attribution to it as Diannaa added above for a separate issue. I don't see any attribution for the article as of this post. Right now there is a 65.4% possible violation in the article. Thanks, Corky 20:32, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- It was reduced to 39.8% violation unlikely.--Biografix (talk) 13:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Greetings to you. Kindly rework your article above as article in Wikipedia is not an essay and make the article more encyclopedic, writing in neutral point of view (as formal as possible, state the facts) - see WP:NPOV and Information style and tone of writing. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA(talk) 00:15, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Thank you

And once again - Welcome! |
You should consider nominating your articles for DYK. See "DYK_For_Newbies". – Lionel(talk) 10:18, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of John Ullyot
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 John Ullyot, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:11, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. The thread is Biografix and American civil servants and political appointees. Thank you. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:24, 8 June 2018 (UTC)
Conflict of interest in Wikipedia
Hi Biografix. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. As has been pointed out in the COIN thread of which you were given notice above, Your edits to date have a clear focus and are somewhat promotional. Lots of people come to Wikipedia with some sort of conflict of interest and are not aware of how we manage it. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, Biografix. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause disruption in the normal editing process. Managing conflict of interest well, also protects conflicted editors themselves - please see WP:Wikipedia is in the real world, and Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia for some guidance and stories about people who have brought bad press upon themselves through unmanaged conflict of interest editing.
As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with the subjects about which you have edited, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency, a political party, a PAC, or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it, and if you are editing for pay or the expectation of being paid, you must disclose that. Please note that we rely on the good faith of editors to answer the question in the spirit it was asked. For example if you are a contract worker hired by a person who works for a PAC (just to take one example), we are looking for you to disclose all that; it is the connections that matter, here in WP.
After you respond (and you can just reply below), if it is relevant I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 17:13, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

After a series of unfortunate events largely self-created, bureaucrat and admin Andrevan was the subject of an Arbitration case for conduct unbecoming. Prior to the case getting underway Andrevan resigned as bureaucrat and admin. A widely discussed incident was when he suggested that some editors he described as "pro-Trump" were paid Russian agents. This resulted in a number of editors from varied quarters denouncing the allegations and voicing support for veteran editors including Winkelvi and the notorious MONGO.
Editors who faced Enforcement action include SPECIFICO (no action), Factchecker atyourservice (three month topic ban ARBAPDS), Netoholic (no action) and Anythingyouwant (indef topic ban ARBAPDS). (Discuss this story)By Lionelt
Breitbart News, in response to Facebook's decision to use Wikipedia as a source to fight fake news, has declared war on our beloved pedia. The article in Haaretz describes the Facebook arrangement as Wikipedia's "greatest test in years" as well as a "massive threat" to the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Breitbart's targeting of Wikipedia has resulted in an "epic battle" with respect to editing at the Breitbart article. The article has also recently experienced a dramatic increase in traffic with 50,000 visitors according to Haaretz. There is no love lost between Breitbart and Wikipedia where editors at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard have criticized the news websites unreliability and have compared it to The Daily Mail.
