Links to other pages

Hi, once you have created an article, you should try to mention it on other pertinent pages, so that readers of those articles can come look at your new page. I have linked Northwest Hills on a number of other Wikipedia pages for you. Yoninah (talk) 19:08, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Thank you for your suggestions. As soon as I'm done expanding the article, I'll let you know in the nomination page and try to link the page in other articles. Thanks again, Austin-geo (talk) 19:13, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Watching your edits... Please try to keep focused on Northwest Hills. A lot of the geographical notes you've added probably belong under Austin, Bull Creek, and other places. Yoninah (talk) 19:42, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Thank you, I'll be more careful. I'm done with that section because I didn't want to go into more detail about the fossils. From my understanding, the Glen Rose Limestone is on the southwestern part of Northwest Hills. The source mentions that it goes from Northland Drive to Georgetown, Texas. Northland Drive intersects with RR 2222, one of Northwest Hills' boundaries on the south. It also mentions that Glen Rose can be studied between Mount Bonnell and Westover Hills (neighborhood north of Northwest Hills), which means Glen Rose crosses Northwest Hills. The Walnut Formation is in Mount Barker (in Northwest Hills too), as mentioned in the source. Most of Bull Creek is technically in Northwest Hills because it falls on the right side of Loop 360, see here. Austin-geo (talk) 19:58, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If these formations are so important, you should write separate articles about them and put all the details there. Then you can just mention those articles in Northwest Hills. Yoninah (talk) 20:03, 1 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Did you really just start editing Wikipedia last week, in order to write this article about your hometown? Then I thank you for taking my backseat driving in good humor. I've been working on the DYK project for many years with the goal of bringing high-quality articles to the main page. You've certainly done an amazing job with this one. You might want to apply for good article status after you're done. In future, if you have any questions about the ins and outs of writing for Wikipedia, I'm happy to answer on my talk page. Best, Yoninah (talk) 18:50, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Austin-geo. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Northwest Hills, Austin, Texas, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;

when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:58, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attacks

I'm just letting you know, without making a formal template message, that your history of not assuming good faith - and that includes your edit summaries when removing official cautions, could affect your editing privileges. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:48, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kudpung – Then should post the template on Smallbones' talkpage too. He threw the first punch by stating at DYK that my work looked like paid editing (and did not assumed good faith). He/she should have looked at the article's talkpage before making a reckless claim. I was providing my reasoning for the real estate sources I was using there.
