Welcome!


Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:28, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, Frank Niro. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Frank Niro, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. - SummerPhD (talk) 17:18, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I feel awkward about expanding it myself, not to mention that it would violate the CIO policy... but let me know if you would like to take a shot at it and I will point you to reliable sources. There is a delete prod notice set for April 6 if it is not expanded before then. Note, that I did not create the article about me in the first place and I understand that it is not for me to argue whether any of this is notable. My intent is to be compliant with the WP:AP policy which states, in part: It is difficult to write neutrally and objectively about oneself (see above about unconscious biases). You should generally let others do the writing. Contributing material or making suggestions on the article's talk page is considered proper—let independent editors write it into the article itself or approve it if you still want to make the changes yourself. In clear-cut cases, it is permissible to edit pages connected to yourself. So, you can revert vandalism; but of course it has to be simple, obvious vandalism and not a content dispute. Similarly, you should feel free to remove obviously mistaken facts about yourself, such as marital status, current employer, place of birth, and so on. (Note it on the talk page.) If the fact has different interpretations, others will edit it.

Anyway, I have no intention of making any more changes to the page myself and, at the suggestion of user:Randykitty have added information to the talk:Frank Niro page to assist anyone else who may like to do so..

Respectfully, Frank Niro (talk) 17:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rk is correct: my notice was preemptive. It makes perfect sense to watch a page about you and remove any errors. - SummerPhD (talk) 21:41, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so you can add, "In later life, he was easily confused..." with apologies, Frank Niro (talk)

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Frank_Niro/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=eYcEJhpD4guKGZT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_afX0sbiKl03nRgF&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 20:02, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what the "normal" reply method is, so I am using your talk page.

I haven't lived in New England since college (early 1970's). (But I played in the 1980 Boston Futurity.) Did we know each other then? Wow, I had forgotten. I am now in Pittsburgh. Best wishes. Bruce leverett (talk) 06:23, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
