User talk:Mayerpam

Welcome!

Hello, Mayerpam, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
The five pillars of Wikipedia
Contributing to Wikipedia
Tutorial
How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! - Happysailor ^(Talk) 20:18, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There was no page that existed but the company was referenced in another page so when I click on the company name it said create page.....should I move my draft article there using the function you suggest? I am just trying to get the hang of it.

About Scioderm

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Scioderm a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 18:42, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So I guess I am wondering if I just use the move function to move "draft scioderm" to Scioderm, if I do this then I think the entire thing will be deleted. Whatever is best I will do, just trying to do it properly as you say so that the history doesn't get deleted, thanks

September 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Draft:Scioderm, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. In addition to this, categories should NOT be active on non-mainspace pages as per WP:DRAFTNOCAT. Please stop adding active categories to your draft. Thanks - Happysailor ^(Talk) 17:42, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ok, I think I know what you mean, so I should take out the [[ ]] and I will also check out the manual to see how to better format the page, thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayerpam (talk • contribs)

I don't think you do, as you keep reverting the changes which are bringing your draft in line with Wikipedia guidelines. I'll break some of it down for you:

Categories should NOT be active in non-mainspace pages. You have reverted the disabling of them now on 4 occasions. see WP:DRAFTNOCAT
Only certain things should be in bold typeface, and should NOT be used for emphasis in articles. See MOS:BOLD
References that are repeated in different locations in the article should really use named refs to reduce article size. See WP:NAMEDREFS
Links to other articles should generally appear only once in an article, unless also in infoboxes etc. See WP:OVERLINK
For some reason you have two names at the start of the article. They shouldn't be there.

Hopefully that clarifies some of the edits in question. If you continue to ignore Wikipedias policies and guidelines and continue along the lines of WP:ICANTHEARYOU. Then we start having a problem. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 19:34, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Signing posts

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 19:36, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Draft:Scioderm, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 07:31, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was simply trying to fix the citation formatting pursuant to the prior message that I received, but I did it one citation at a time so it may not have seemed constructive, but I was following the prior advice that my citations were not in proper format. Thanks mayerpam

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Draft:Scioderm, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 13:34, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not assume ownership of articles as you did at Draft:Scioderm. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. - Happysailor ^(Talk) 14:12, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, no problem, I know I don't own it and apologize. Where can I find the current version as edited. As mentioned I thought I had done the citations incorrectly and spent last night trying to fix the formatting, but as you probably saw I kept editing and re-editing because sometimes they were incorrect. I'm a bit confused about the process here. Mayerpam (talk) 14:44, 9 September 2015 (UTC) mayerpam[reply]

ok I just found it and will leave it.....I see your changes and understand now that you actually fixed the citations, in the future I will try using the templates for citations as you suggest. Thanks again. Mayerpam (talk) 14:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Scioderm (September 15)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Wxidea was:

Your article has potential, and I think the Fox News coverage should squarely make the topic "notable", but this article still needs editing, mostly for style and clarity. There's too much inside-baseball right from the start. Try to explain what the company is, and don't wade too deep into funding or history (if you do, just 1 paragraph in a history section).

One way to approach this is to try to limit your content to information which you can cite to 3rd party press coverage, or govt publications.

I'm assuming Mayerpam is part of the company given this is the main article Mayerpam is working on. You have a really nice and clear web site, so I think you know how to many a clear encyclopedic article. If Mayerpam is unaffiliated with the company, let us know.

BTW, it's a very area of work on rare diseases.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Scioderm and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also get Wikipedia's Live Help real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Wxidea (talk) 05:52, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK I will continue to edit it in the manner suggest, I am not with the Company, am interested in rare diseases. Mayerpam (talk) 11:49, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thank you. Two questions. First, is there anything more I need to do with the article now that it was accepted in terms of posting it. Second, earlier in the process (because I am new to this) I did a cut and paste mistake and there was a speedy deletion of Scioderm. That page still comes up when I search for Scioderm in Wikipedia. Oh, one more thing, in the article sometimes I referenced the same article twice and had it in the list of references twice, but I see in other articles that reference should be given one reference number and then referred to twice. I am not sure how to fix that or if I should fix it.

Mayerpam (talk) 15:30, 23 September 2015 (UTC) mayerpam[reply]

Another thing, you continue to have a banner that says a major contributor to the article is with the company, buy I am not with Scioderm. Mayerpam (talk) 15:36, 23 September 2015 (UTC) mayerpam[reply]
