User talk:MikeM.128

Welcome!

Hello, MikeM.128, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Cokurtosis, which 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:

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!

Nice article. I added some context. Now Wikipedia could use an article on cokurtosis. StarryGrandma (talk) 19:00, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and thanks for the references. I created an article on cokurtosis. I am new to this, but I think it is awaiting review.

Your draft article, User:MikeM.128/Northstar Risk Corp

Hello, MikeM.128. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Northstar Risk Corp".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13. An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Rankersbo (talk) 13:33, 4 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

May 2023

Hello, I'm Patient Zero. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Isoelastic utility—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. Patient Zero^talk 23:14, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you revert that change? I was fixing a factually untrue statement. Yes, it is a small change, but the sentence was untrue before. I thought I clearly explained why. Was I not clear? MikeM.128 (talk) 23:19, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Patient Zero, I'm wondering too. The editor explained. Drmies (talk) 23:21, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, crikey. Thank you for highlighting this Drmies. MikeM, please accept my humble apologies. I made a misclick with Huggle (the vandalism-reverting software I use) and accidentally reverted you. I’ll revert it back now and strike your warning. Patient Zero^talk 23:42, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. My initial explanation for the change had a mistake. I too made a misclick. All good now. Thanks and thanks Drmies. MikeM.128 (talk) 23:50, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! Patient Zero^talk 23:52, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
