Welcome!

Hello, Philip Sugarman, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Meh did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hi. Thank you. This is a work in progress. All statements will be fully referenced in due course. Philip Sugarman (talk) 19:44, 17 June 2021 (UTC) @Whoisjohngalt: Hi, I have uploaded a picture of Doug richford supplied by his son. I took a phone pic of a photo print. I have uploaded this but got the usual copyright gobbledegook back. Despite endless reading about creative commons etc I simply do not know what to type where or what to click on to solve this license issue. Can you help?[reply]

thanks Philip

Niche but nice

Hi Philip: I really must congratulate you on your extremely thorough and dedicated work on History of the Jews in Kingston upon Hull‎‎. I only stumbled on it by accident, perhaps through some check or other I sometimes make, and I have enjoyed watching its continuing and careful development. Well done and thank you for all your very hard work! Cheers DBaK (talk) 20:18, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your kind comments. Any suggestions for improvement very welcome. Philip Philip Sugarman (talk) 21:07, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Home-Start UK (October 2)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Theroadislong was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Home-Start UK and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Home-Start UK, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Philip Sugarman! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 19:14, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Home-Start Worldwide. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 19:16, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at User talk:Possibly, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button 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 necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 07:38, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

Board position and editing

Hello! I hope you have read WP:COI. We very much do not want representatives of companies (a board member is an active representative for the best interests of a company/society, wouldn't you say?) editing the company or society's page directly. Editing drafts directly is OK, as they are not visible to the public, but for "live" articles please use talk page requests as we aim to keep Wikipedia neutral. A Wikipedia page is not a promotional extension of a company or society, but rather a factual restatement of what has already been written about the organization. Please do participate in the above COIN discussion so that we know you understand this. --- Possibly ☎ 05:51, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
