If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jaime Martínez Tolentino, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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. ukexpat (talk) 16:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Please take heed of the COI notice above. I have attempted to tone down the article a little but it still needs a lot of work. I will leave comments on the talk page, but note that "The author himself" is not a reliable source, please see WP:RS. Finally, when you see an "In Use" tag on an article, please do not edit it, otherwise you will cause edit conflicts with the editor who place the tage, in this case me. – ukexpat (talk) 16:59, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also 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 useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 17:58, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm really sorry you are having a hard time with the article about you. I understand you want it deleted. I'm doing everything I can do accomidate you. If you have any further problems, please contact me, and I can try to help you out. If I am unable to have the article deleted, I will tell you other people who might be more helpful that you can contact. I am so sorry for the trouble this has caused you, and hope that it can be resolved quickly. Hipocrite (talk) 18:01, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Dear Hypocrite: Thank you for offering to delete the article about me. As a working writer, the last thing I need ia a page about me with all sorts of notices tagged on it, as if there were something "fishy" about what nyboricua wrote. I thank nyboricua for trying to get a compatriot beetter known on the internet, but this whole affair has been a most disagreeable one and I would rather go unnoticed, as concerns WIKIPEDIA, than have all this doubt cast upon my person. I would honestly appreciate your removing the article about me from WIIPEDIA, and I shall not consult that source any more.Jaimema (talk) Jaime Martinez Tolentino

Yes, Buzzzsherman, it is I. However, that Webpage is at least 10 years old. There is also a VERY OLD webpage about me at http://lae.greenwood.com/doc.aspx?i=0&type=all&fileID=GR2744&chapterID=GR2744-1282&path=encyclopedias/greenwood/&?ws=WS_LAE&as=doc.aspx%3fi%3d0%26type%3dall%26fileID%3dGR2744%26chapterID%3dGR2744-1282%26path%3dencyclopedias%2fgreenwood%2f&token=14D68DF7A7DAE960E004624F764F4D4E.
A more modern page from Google Books, listing the books I have published and what has been published about me is: http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&sourceid=books-referral-partner&q=Jaime+Martinez+Tolentino&btnG=Search+Books.
Someone in this discussion asks if I am also the Jaime Enrique Martinez cited on the NYU Alumni page. The answer is YES. When I was a student at NYU, I used the Americanized version of my name (Jaime Enrique Martinez) but since then (that was 1966 when I finished a Masters in French at NYU) I reverted to the Hispanic version of my name, with father's last name first (Martinez) and mother's last name second (Tolentino).Jaimema (talk) 19:47, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello Jaimema! Your page just came to my attention on AfD and I wanted to contact you. I am sorry if the interactions with editors were disappointing and/or confusing. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is a fairly complex place nowadays and it has a quite intricate set of rules and guidelines; I am sorry you got caught in this tangle. Now, since you seem a notable subject for the encyclopedia, you have all the rights to ask that the article is correctly factual and neutral. We only ask not to directly edit your own biography, usually, per reasonable objectivity reasons (of course if you see plain vandalism/defamation, you have the right to remove it on sight). You are more than welcome to discuss at the article talk page all the suggestions you have to improve the article, possibly backed by reliable sources. Thank you! --Cyclopiatalk 22:35, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
I see a number of people are suggesting that the article be deleted because that is what you want. Is that correct? Dougweller (talk) 15:18, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the message. I have noted on the Afd discussion page that you are no longer requesting that the article be deleted. Thanks for the Google books link - I will see if I can find a way to work that into the article.
The removal of the sentence about polio was probably an mistake on my part as I was shuffling around other parts of the text - I will add it back.
Images are a tricky issue on Wikipedia. If you have an image of yourself to which you (rather than the photographer) own the copyright, you could release it to the public domain. If there are no such images, then it will be necessary to convince the copyright owner to release the copyright in a manner acceptable to Wikipedia. Please take a look at the process set out at WP:IOWN. Once we have figured out copyright status we can upload an image and add it to the article.
Also, please make sure that you are signed in to your Wikipedia account - you left the message on my talk page while you were signed out.
Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 16:47, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
