User talk:Andreascontent

Welcome!

Hello, Andreascontent, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Andreascontent/sandbox, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Hi and thanks for all this advice,

will look into this, too.

Yes, I am aware of these conflicts of interest and - at least think - I have declared them from the very start. (Can you see this somewhere?) I obviously also seem supported by a mentor through my editing process and hope for input from her/him. Have worked as a freelance science writer before, so I guess, I am familiar with "neutral" and relevant writing, nailing down facts with quotes. But for the moment, I am quite struck by all these regulations, pieces of advice, do's and don'ts - have to get familiar still.

I do not see any declarations from your contributions. Of utmost importance right now is for you to review the mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. If you are employed by EOMAP then this policy applies to you - regardless of whether or not you are being paid specifically to edit about the company on Wikipedia. Disclosure of any paid editing is required by this policy and Wikipedia's terms of use. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:11, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Oh, then this was in my first "draft" (I hadn't dare save it, as I was afraid "Publishing" meant publishing). I will certainly disclose this conflict. Will look into this tomorrow. ~~~~ Andreascontent (talk) 19:34, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
