User talk:Russell Moxie

Welcome!

Hello, Russell Moxie, 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• 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

Thank you for the above. I would appreciate any feedback on the win-win game article that I added to. I was unaware I could send it to an editor before publishing. How do I do this? I also have more to add to the article. Russell Moxie (talk) 15:23, 26 July 2021 (UTC) Russell Moxie (talk) 15:23, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Russell Moxie: thank you for reaching out. I think that the problem here isn't really a conflict of interest – that only applies to when people have some sort of personal or financial tie to the article they're editing – more that your changes weren't. written in a neutral tone. On Wikipedia, there are fairly strict policies regarding what qualifies as biased and unbiased writing, even on topics (like this one, which is related to game theory) that may not seem controversial.

Some of the sentences you added seemed to be written in a "POV-pushing" way, like "An example of a win-win game is negotiations for preventing armed conflict: both countries may benefit if they can resolve their differences without going to war. Both countries may suffer if they go to war" – this carries a political message that some people may not agree with. This wording could even just be improved by saying "A common example of win-win game is..." so that your voice doesn't get mixed into it, as long as you had evidence to back up the fact that it is a common example. Additionally, the line "'I’m just fantastic, not because I did anything, but just because I am here'” reads as fairly charged. You also might want to note that this isn't necessarily relevant to the subject of the article – this article is about win-win games as they relate to the mathematical field of game theory, not their role in society.

With all of this said, the article that you are working on is clearly a "stub" (meaning it has significantly less content on it than it should), and I really appreciate seeing new volunteers on Wikipedia. If you have any changes that you are interested in running by a more experienced editor, you can post your proposed content on my talk page or ask a question at the teahouse (which is an all-around great resource for new editors, by the way). Let me know if you need any more help!

Russell, like KylieTastic said, your contributions to Win-win game are not lost. I think all of the content that you thought you lost is in the change log at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Win-win_game&type=revision&diff=1035630703&oldid=1034973806 . If it's not there, look at individual entries in the page history for that page. Orlady (talk) 02:00, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much, Orlady! How do I put it into my user page? Will that include references like they were on the win-win game page? Russell Moxie (talk) 02:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC) Russell Moxie (talk) 02:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The best place to edit might be your sandbox. This is a place where you can put in content and experiment with it until it is ready to submit. Mover of molehills (talk) 12:00, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly the easiest way to grab your old content is to go to the last version of the page that you saved, open the edit screen for that version (this is a link to the edit screen for that version), then copy the Source code that you see there. Orlady (talk) 18:59, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The source code is what is in the edit box on https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Win-win_game&action=edit&oldid=1034973806 . Copy that content to the sandbox page, as suggested by Mover of molehills. Orlady (talk) 15:53, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Mover of molehills, how do I transfer what I originally wrote in Win-win Games to the sandbox so I can improve it? Russell Moxie (talk) 15:37, 28 July 2021 (UTC) Russell Moxie (talk) 15:37, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You can just copy the old text and then click on the red sandbox link. Clicking on the red link will cause you to create the sandbox page, and so you can just copy the text to the new page and press "Publish changes" in the top-right corner.

Thank you for your help, Orlady and Mover of molehills. Russell Moxie (talk) 00:11, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I figured it out! Thanks Russell Moxie (talk) 11:56, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
