This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Flat Out (talk) 22:57, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

I am trying to understand the rules and regulations regarding imputing accurate information on Wikipedia. Being 75 maybe the biggest problem with working through the process. But, in no way am I in any need to soapbox, promote or advertise. Especially, when adding pertinent details on now defunct companies to which I had a part over 35 years ago. But, in that part, I accumulated and produced a lot of material that can make the somewhat wanton information, especially Elscint, Technicare, Teleradiology and PAC's infancy, more informative to an inquiring mind. Any information I write has specific material that corroborates it. So, I am asking for your help to edit in the pertinent information that has been removed from all the edits I have, in good faith, tried to make. For example, when Avraham Suhami and I teamed up to make presentations to private investor groups and investment banking companies, e.g. Prudential-Bache Securities. Which was a pivotal series of presentations that lead to a historic event when Elscint was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1984.

Thank you for any help you can provide,

Donald T MacEwan

DONALD MACEWAN thanks for your reply. The crux of the issue is that you can't write about yourself. Please go to the talk pages of the articles you want to edit, type {{request edit}} and explain the changes you want to make. If other editors agree that the content is neutral and well sourced, they will make the edits on your behalf. Flat Out (talk) 05:31, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
