NPOV and copyright
[edit]Please try harder to maintain a Neutral point of view in what you write for Wikipedia. I also suspect that you may be introducing copyright violations by copying promotional marketing material, since some of what you have inserted into articles reads as if it was written as company advertising. Also please see WP:NOT. We generally do not provide exact street addresses, tour guide information, operating hours, etc. The goal is to be an objective encyclopedia, not promotional marketing material. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:52, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Sevierville etc
[edit]Hi, thank you for your contributions developing Sevierville, Tennessee article. It popped up in my notices list because you linked to an article about a masonic building which it turns out I created. Anyhow it prompted me to visit the article and add some tiny bits, too, and then to start Waters House (Sevierville, Tennessee) article. Now with connection of "Louis Buckner" to Lewis Buckner, which without seeing stuff in the Sevierville article I would not have made. I or you should start Sevierville Commercial Historic District too, and I hope you might be interested in contributing to these. Thanks and keep up your good work! --Doncram (talk) 15:21, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad some of the info also helped you out. I've always been such a fan of Wikipedia that I decided to make some contributions here and there in my spare time. Sevierville certainly seems to have a lot to offer, and I did notice that some of the historic sites didn't have their own pages. I think creating them is a great idea, and I will add to the effort when I've got some free time. Thanks! Riterchick1983 (talk) 08:51, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
- Great, glad you are on board. I did start the historic district article as just a stub just now, but including the NRHP document which has a lot of information for expansion. For some other historic district articles I have worked on, I and others got and used photos of almost every contributing building. In this case, we could use 20 more pics in a gallery or included into an expanded text. :) And it really helps if someone with local knowledge can make connections within and between articles. For the Sevierville area, i see we need expansions for several articles, and new articles for seven current redlinks: New Salem Baptist Church, Thomas Addition Historic District, Trotter-McMahan House, US Post Office-Sevierville, Dwight and Kate Wade House, Walker Mill Hydroelectric Station, Rocky Springs Presbyterian Church. Plenty to do! --Doncram (talk) 13:27, 26 June 2018 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for July 20
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Hermitage Hotel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Circassian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

COI for Nathan "Nearest" Green, Fawn Weaver?
[edit]
Hello, Riterchick1983. 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 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, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Jooojay (talk) 04:21, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
- Nope, I don't have a conflict of interest for these subjects. I'm a whiskey-loving, Jack Daniel's fan who is fascinated with the story that came out about Jack Daniel's and Nearest Green. (There's tons of media coverage.) I tried the Uncle Nearest whiskey and was impressed. It deserves a page just as much as all the other whiskeys on Wikipedia, but I didn't do a good job of monitoring my word choice when I tried to create one, and it's been waiting for me to get reinspired to improve it. In the meantime, I've made hundreds of other edits to whiskey-related pages and other topics, learning and picking up tips along the way for neutral phrasing. I've also created several other article pages, including one for the Johnny Cash Museum and one for the Patsy Cline Museum. And, no, I don't have any personal connection to those businesses either. I just love museums and country music and was (again) surprised they didn't have pages already. I'm puzzled by the question. As I said, I've edited many, many whiskey-related pages since I got interested in Wikipedia editing, and I've never had anyone ask me if I'm connected to any of those whiskeys or companies, nor have I had anyone ask me about a connection to Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, or Gatlinburg, which are tourist cities I love and also edited. It feels a little bit like unexplained resistance to anyone updating anything related to Nearest Green or Fawn Weaver, especially since I really didn't change the content beyond copyediting and adding/correcting sources. If the articles have an advertising feel (and I don't believe they do; they're biographical), then that approach already existed before I edited anything. I didn't make significant language changes. I chose to edit them while revisiting my draft for Uncle Nearest whiskey, which has cross-links to both Nearest Green and Fawn Weaver for obvious reasons. Their pages were missing information that was easy to fill in while I was looking for news stories on the whiskey. Anyway, this feels weird and reminds me of the strong resistance I ran into when I updated the Benjamin Prichard's Tennessee Whiskey page — no connection there either. I don't understand why there seems to be so much suspicion surrounding certain whiskey pages and not others. I've even made some edits to the Jack Daniel's page.
- No strong resistance, just noting that there is a long history of advertising writing and COI editing on these two pages which you are now actively editing (see the talk pages for Nathan "Nearest" Green, Fawn Weaver). Also you're a new editor and there is also a history of what appears to be the creation of sock puppet accounts in order to edit these two articles. That being said, thank you for your disclosure and best of luck with your edits. And thank you for understanding why this is important. Jooojay (talk) 22:25, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
