Allan R. Bomhard[edit]

Greetings. I noticed that you made contributions to the article listed above, and I was wondering if you could be of assistance. By looking at your username, I assume that you are the subject of the article. While your edits to the article are not an issue, please become familiar with WP:COI. It's generally not a good idea to edit articcles about yourself, but you can always submit new info to the article's talk page so that another editor can insert the info for you.

The second thing I wanted to ask you was if you had any additional sources that could verify your notability. While you have authored and co-authored several books, I'm having a hard time finding any other info that can be cited in the article. Any help you could give would be greatly appriciated. If you have any info that could be of assistance, please reply here and leave a talkback template on my talk page. Cheers! Ish dar ian 02:33, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I restored and updated the original entry. If you will check earlier versions, you can verify that this is, indeed, the case. I did not create a new article. The replacement that suddenly appeared was bordering on libel. It was both factually inaccurate and incendiary.

As for newer publications, I would be happy to send you a list of my publications. Arbomhard (talk) 19:45, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A current list of my publications can also be found under my name on academia.edu. Arbomhard (talk) 19:50, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Thank you very much. I am new to this and am still learning. By the way, I use a VPN called Private Internet Access, which randomizes my IP address. With best wishes. Arbomhard (talk) 04:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
