![]() This is your Talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss things with them. At the end of your messages you must put your signature by signing with four ~~~~ (just as I have done) or by pressing the button in the editor bar as shown here in the picture. By the way, you don't need to sign edits that you make in the articles themselves as those messages will be deleted. Another valuable page that may provide information and assistance is User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. My name is Buster7. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance and contact information. Good Luck editing! |

Thank you, Buster7. Appreciate it!
Hi, Galassi...can I please ask you to remove the notability disclaimer from the Aleksandar Simić, composer wikipedia page...now that all the references have been added and that all the corrections you required were made. Best regards ~~~~
Someone should inform 12text12 that this this is not Craigslist, it is Wikipedia. This account seems like a WP:SPA that just spams Aleksandar Simić. But this is not Craigslist. Advertise somewhere else. I have reverted a few, others need to be reverted. History2007 (talk) 15:23, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
I am sorry...I was not aware of the fact that it would be viewed as spamming...I was just trying to add information that actually related to the specific articles - as I said - It will not happen again talk 18:03, 18 May 2012
...and please allow me to correct some of it....
>>>>>I have removed the entries from yesterday...and restored the article on Aleksandar Simic - this article now has all the references required and all the remotely subjective qualifications have been removed. I do hope it can now stay like this. Best regards, 12text12
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. JFHJr (㊟) 21:11, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Hello 12text12. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Aleksandar Simić, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.
Your contributions on my talk page and at Commons indicate you are likely the subject himself. If this is true, you're probably also AleksandarSimic (talk · contribs). It seems you have a long history of editing this article. In the future, instead of editing the article about you directly, I hope you'll consider posting at the talk page or proposing changes at WP:BLPN. At this moment, there's a discussion thread open at BLPN regarding the article, so I hope you'll choose to participate there. Your other options include e-mailing or posting at WP:OTRSN (e-mail is at the link, above the discussion posts).
Please keep in mind that almost nothing is permanent on Wikipedia, so try not to fret about the article's current state. You've otherwise edited several other unrelated articles. I think that's great, and I hope this doesn't discourage you from contributing to other topics you're interested in. Cheers! JFHJr (㊟) 21:11, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Aleksandar Simić. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Aleksandar Simić. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions.
You have been repeatedly told what the problems are with your conflicted editing: adding sources that are not reliable (your own website is insufficient to support claims about your accomplishments); citing to sources that do not support your claims; and your general conflict of interest that prevents you from objectively evaluating the significance of your own accomplishments. At this time, you seem not to get the point, as you have repeatedly added the same content with hilarious edit summaries. Please stop editing the article about you, and please stop adding information about yourself to other articles. Thank you. JFHJr (㊟) 15:13, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aleksandar Simić (composer) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
