Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Tfburns. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Psychoacoustics, 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 WP:Spam);
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. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 17:02, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tfburns! I wanted to clarify something. After you found my interventions hostile on the Psychoacoustics Talk page and asked for "third-party arbitration," I tried to do just that. So, I posted a message asking for help on the Teahouse page. I pondered whether I should include your username there, which would mean that you would be notified. But, on the other hand, guidelines also suggest not to do finger-pointing or outing, so in the end I thought it would be better not to mention you directly there. In hindsight, I am wondering if maybe that contributed to a feeling that I was going behind your back, making you think that Theroadislong and I were "in cahoot"? I have no relation to Theroadislong, and seeing that they intervened on the Teahouse page for other matters around the same time, I think they simply saw my call for help and acted in response to it. On the Teahouse page, I was advised to request help from the COI Noticeboard, but I was hesitant to do so because I mostly wanted advice about how to communicate with you in a way that would not come across as hostile. In the end, Theroadislong acted before I went any further, and, meanwhile, I found WP:BITE, which is a very helpful resource. Now I see that I haven't acted entirely up to these guidelines and I apologise for that. I hope that brings some clarity. – egaudrain (talk) 17:46, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bald and Bankrupt[edit]

I'm removing your discussion on the TALK page because it's WP:OR and promotes other websites. If you have question about inclusion of content feel free to add, but Wikipedia isn't an online forum. If you wish to add content to the article it needs to be WP:RS about the person and topic of the article which is the Bald and Bankrupt YouTube Channel. Thanks!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ramesh Rajan (September 13)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Fails WP:ANYBIO / WP:NPROF, requires significant coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. Monash University is a primary source.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ramesh Rajan and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
