Welcome to my talk page I use the name Cullen328 on Wikipedia, but you can call me "Jim" because that's my real first name. If you want to start a new conversation, please click "New section" or "Add topic" at the top of this page. I keep the old comments from July and August of 2009 that follow the "Contents" here, because these friendly words of greeting made me feel welcome when I first started editing Wikipedia.

The importance of a friendly greeting

Hello and welcome to my talk page. If you want to start a new conversation, please click "New section" at the top of this page. I keep the comments that follow from July and August of 2009 readily visible, because these friendly words of greeting made me feel welcome here on Wikipedia when I first started editing. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 17:38, 6 November 2011 (UTC

Please offer your thoughts

I would appreciate comments and suggestions on any contributions I make. I am learning.Cullen328 (talk) 03:22, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on Jules Eichorn. He's been needing an article for a while. Will Beback talk 06:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I may suggest, now that you've posted the Eichorn article the draft below might be deleted. It's your talk page to do with as you like, but it's a bit hard to edit around.

As for formatting and pictures, a good way to learn is to look around at other articles to see what you think looks best. It can be helpful to break up long blocks of text into subsections. Perhaps it'd be possible to split the biography into two or three eras. Other than that, the formatting is usually kept fairly plain. As for photos, it's easy to upload them: the trick is in finding photos with appropriate licensing. If you have any personal photos then those'd be fine. There are might be pictures of the peaks he did first ascents on in the Wikicommons. File:Cathedral Peak.png is a so-so pic of Eichorn Pinnacle.

As before, feel free to ask if you have any questions. There are several editors here who are mountaineers or just admirers of the Sierra, so you're in good company. Will Beback talk 21:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS: Many editors create "sandbox" pages for drafting articles. For example, User talk:Cullen328/Sandbox. Will Beback talk 00:17, 1 August 2009

Your climber biographies

Hey Jim, just wanted to say welcome and thanks for your contributions to the Sierra Nevada climbing history articles. You're filling a niche that's been missing here, I look forward to working with you. --Justin (talk) 11:54, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll second that. Nice work on Allen Steck and welcome to Wikipedia. I don't know who you are planning to write up next but if your taking requests I think Peter Croft (climber) could really use a page. If you ever have any questions please ask. Thanks again for your great additions.--OMCV (talk) 02:25, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Justin and OMCV. I am beginning work on Tom Frost and Glen Dawson. Comments on Norman Clyde would be welcomed. I will defintely read up on Peter Croft, OMCV. I am still "learning the ropes" in Wikipedia, to use a climbing analogy, and have all sorts of things in mind. My biggest challenge right now is getting permission to use images. My next biggest challenge is hiking to the top of Mt. Whitney with my wife in ten days - she's never been above 12,000 feet except for the train ride up Pikes Peak. As she's 56 and developing arthritis in her toes, it will be an accomplishment if she (and I) complete the Class 1 feat. Jim Heaphy (talk) 02:34, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Debra and I made it to the summit of Mt. Whitney at 2:20 PM on Friday, September 11. Jim Heaphy (talk) 00:59, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request of Help on "Just the Facts" Tone

Hi Jim,

I am very new to Wikipedia. I got your feedback on the draft article located under PhoCoHaNoi. Thanks so much for your comments. I would greatly appreciate if you would spare some valuable time to highlight those parts from the draft that I need to pay close attentions to regarding the aspect that you raised. I know it would be a long shot to ask if you would even consider providing specific examples by directly editing them on the draft.

Lastly, I still do not know on how to submit the revision for review. I do not see any obvious buttons or pull-down menus from the Sandbox setting that would be able to allow to submit the article for review.

Thank you so much.

PhoCoHaNoi

Hello, PhoCoHaNoi. I am not going to edit the draft myself, because I want this to be a learning exercise for you. Here are a few examples of unacceptable wording:

"celebrating the 73-year history of outstanding men and women"

"pioneering contributions"

"sustained leadership and strategic vision"

"Exceptional services to innovation ecosystem"

"stimulating small business innovation, meeting the Air Force and DoD R&D needs, broadening participation in innovation and entrepreneurship, and boosting commercialization"

" So, as Dr. Pham looked back now, he brought systems-theoretic science and control engineering principles, together with teamwork and interdisciplinary to bear fruition in solving warfighter engineering problems, various areas of specific focus for increased activities in space control autonomy and space domain awareness."

It is not the job of a Wikipedia editor (you) to praise a person. Every trace of this non-neutral language must be removed. A Wikipedia article should never say "Person A is great!" Instead, it should say "Reliable source C reports that Expert B says that Person A is great", along with a reference to Reliable source C.

As for how to submit your draft, I will explain that when the draft complies with the neutral point of view. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it

Sending Messages to Other Editors

Hi Jim. I will deeply appreciate anything that you can do to help. How can I find out about other editors and send them messages? I recently looked for an article about The Italian Coffee Company that I had read years ago. However, I could not find it. I believe that this article should be available. I am a new editor and I have a big learning curve ahead of me. Maybe you can post to my talk page. I am user Mojosa17. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Invitation to Local Wikimania Event in San Francisco this Friday

Hi!

Wikimania is happening and hopefully you're enjoying the sessions. While it's fairly last minute, you're warmly invited to participate in the local Wikimania-themed meetup in the Wikimedia Foundation office this Friday (tomorrow!). You will have to register in advance, but we would love to see more people from the WikiSalon community participate! For more information and registration, please check out meta:Wikimania 2022/San Francisco Meetup.

The event will involve hacking, teaching, learning, and celebrating and we'll have snacks. We will have the opportunity to watch live sessions at Wikimania together in the afternoon. The rest of the day we'll have opportunity to participate in the hackathon, and we may have some on-demand workshops/learning sessions.

In case we run out of space, it's first-come-first-serve so let us know soon! Hope to see you there.

I didn't expect you to enter it there, but someone. It felt like an undeserved honour. - Now one pic was replaced by one of May Abrahamse (with uncertain licensing), and Vakhtang Machavariani is nominated (last day today). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:59, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Erhard

Hiya! What do you think about the article Werner Erhard? Is it OK in its current state?

I know little about this guy, other than what I've read because of the various onwiki disputes. Polygnotus (talk) 18:38, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I should ask a more precise question because this article is very long. In parts I feel it is decent, other parts are bad. I'll be back. Polygnotus (talk) 19:01, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Polygnotus, I will be off Wikipedia for several hours, so we can discuss this and related articles later. Cullen328 (talk) 20:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing, ClaudineChionh. I liked the photo and when I checked it out, I noticed that it is a Featured picture on Commons. I hope that nobody will think that I read Hindi. As for that essay, I think that WP:CIR applies. Cullen328 (talk) 17:09, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mischumerritt (23:20, 16 May 2025)

Hi, Thanks for being my mentor! I made an edit to add scans of the letter by Oscar Fitzalan Harmon mentioned on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=125th_Illinois_Infantry_Regiment Happy to get feedback on appropriateness, etc.

...I have about scans of about 400 of the letters he wrote home during the Civil War campaign, and a scan of the privately published "Life and Letters of Oscar Fitzalan Harmon" edited by his daughter. I welcome advice! Best regards, Michael --Mischumerritt (talk) 23:20, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mischumerritt. This is your only edit to the English Wikipedia. I see that you uploaded some documents to Wikimedia Commons. That is a separate project with its own inclusion criteria and its own policies and guidelines. You will have to ask there about this particular matter. I can assist you with editing the encyclopedia. Wikisource may be the best project for hosting this type of material. I do not know for sure because I am not active there. Good luck. Cullen328 (talk) 00:55, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Could you perhaps suggest how I might inquire with whom? Alas I am not skilled in the art…. 2601:84:8700:5D50:8DB0:8280:173:1C79 (talk) 01:19, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is this Mischumerritt editing logged out? If so, please log in to edit. I have no experience with Wikisource so you should read their home page carefully. Here is a directory of help resources on Wikimedia Commons. Cullen328 (talk) 02:04, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hello, I would like to publish a biography of my son in wikipedia --Bourdierd (talk) 17:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bourdierd. I assume that your statement has to do with your edit to Sidi Mansour (song). I am sorry, but what you wrote was in the wrong location, highly promotional and unreferenced. That's three policy violations. I consider it highly unlikely that a nine year old athlete would be eligible for a Wikipedia article. Please read WP:NFOOTY and Your first article.

Hello, Mpilontle Mabuke. Our role as Wikipedia editors is to accurately and neutrally summarize what the full range of reliable, independent sources say about a topic. Cullen328 (talk) 17:05, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Shannonbryn (13:05, 22 May 2025)

Hi Cullen328, I was editing a wikipedia page for which I might be categorized as a conflict of interest, and a friend later warned me that this is not acceptable so I reverted the changes as I didn't want to jeopardize the page. However, the minor edits (about 500 characters total) still need to be made as they are updates to outdated references on the page. Can you give me advice on how to contact someone who might assess the requested changes and make them? --Shannonbryn (talk) 13:05, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Shannonbryn. I assume that this is about Shannon B. Olsson. There are a few things that you should do. First, click on your signature which is now red, type in the editing box to disclose your conflict of interest, and then click the blue "Publish page" box. Then, read about how to create a formal edit request. Then, make your formal edit request at Talk: Shannon B. Olsson. If you are unable to resolve the issue within a couple of days, come back here to my talk page and I will assist you further. Thank you for doing your best to resolve this the right way. Cullen328 (talk) 16:14, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @Cullen328, I will study these materials and go forward. I am hopeful that these minor edits might get made by an impartial third party. I appreciate your help. Shannonbryn (talk) 07:53, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AllenSams50 (14:46, 27 May 2025)

Hi! I was wanting to edit my parent company's page on wikipedia to add another of their ventures that has recently started. Could you please suggest any tips that I need to follow? I did some research and have read the basics, however any suggestions from an experienced editor like you would be really helpful. Here's what I crafted -

In 2023, Diatom Watches, a company founded by Dr. Chris Rose and Dr. Alex Baker—also co-founders of Sent Into Space—began producing limited-edition timepieces incorporating space-flown materials such as meteorite and Apollo 11 Kapton foil. Each watch is launched into near space using high-altitude balloon flights conducted by Sent Into Space, with the journey documented and authenticated as part of the product's provenance.

The name "Diatom" was inspired by a 2013 high-altitude balloon experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Sheffield, including Dr. Rose and Dr. Baker, which reportedly recovered a diatom fragment and unusual biological entities from the stratosphere. These findings were interpreted by some as potential evidence of extraterrestrial life, though they remain scientifically debated. --AllenSams50 (talk) 14:46, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I have reverted this edit, as not only grossly promotional (no independent sourcing for the watch stuff), but in addition as promoting fringe 'science' based on a single experiment, the validity of which is clearly open to question. If the company wants to use claims of 'potential evidence of extra-terrestrial life' to flog watches, that's their business, but they can't use Wikipedia to do so. That is utterly absurd. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AllenSams50, read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:41, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To add to the above, Diatom Watches is a separate company, and accordingly their products wouldn't merit discussion in the Sent Into Space article anyway. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:50, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AllenSams50, I am in complete agreement with AndyTheGrump. You have a conflict of interest that must be properly declared in accordance with WP:PAID. Your edit was overtly promotional and based largely on promotional materials published by the company. That behavior is not allowed on Wikipedia. Cullen328 (talk) 16:57, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

AllenSams50 has entirely ignored the above (also notified on their talk page), and restored much the same promotional content, with the only supposedly 'independent' soucing being a clearly-labelled 'advertising feature'. [1] Given the clear and unambiguous violation of Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure, I would assume that a block is in order? AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:55, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, AndyTheGrump. Cullen328 (talk) 18:25, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"It can't go unpunished" might just have meant "It should be drawn to their attention"

@Cullen328 and Gsfelipe94: em português, that might have have been intention. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 09:58, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Shirt58. Thanks. My intent was simply to explain something to that editor. Cullen328 (talk) 16:26, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly. His actions were deliberate. The disruptive editing needed to be accounted for. Gsfelipe94 (talk) 17:59, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The other cinderella

Hi Cullen, I'm confused. I am also the real Cinderella with two L s not two i s. When you blocked the impersonator, a message came to me on my email saying you had blocked me. What it actually said was that you had mentioned me. I clicked the button on the email and wound up at the impersonator's page, where I left a message and then the same message using the unblock template. The impersonator's TP appears to be a mirror of mine. Anyhow, disregard those messages. We need to do something about the TP. I also just had Adumbrativus close an RM that I opened. I left them a message there. Ping Peacemaker67 as I have emailed you before. If necessary, I can email you again from the same address to confirm my identity Tilt, cock, lock, look.

Hello, correct Cinderella157. You are not blocked. The impersonator is. I pinged you so that you would know about the impersonation and that I blocked the impersonator. I am sorry if that caused any confusion. All I needed to do was to look at the edit histories to see that you are the real deal. Cullen328 (talk) 06:26, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was not just the ping that did it but that their TP is a mirror of mine. Your ears were probably burning as a result of what I was calling you at the time before I realised that their TP wasn't actually mine. Can we fix that - delete it like you did the user page or at least clear it (or almost clear it). I now see the RM was not mine, even though I might have created one like it. I left a message for Adumbrativus acknowledging my error and to disregard. My head hurts. Cinderella157 (talk) 07:04, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cinderella157, you can call me whatever you want. That is one of the perks of being an administrator, along with the free t-shirt that never got delivered. The mistake I made was not deleting the fake/duplicate talk page before placing the block notice. I went back and manually removed all the copy pasted material. My excuse is that I was working on several things simultaneously, both on and off Wikipedia. Sorry for disconcerting you. Cullen328 (talk) 07:29, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
