User talk:Historiker1208
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Historiker1208, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Bauer Kompressoren, 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.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hello, Historiker1208, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Historian1208 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Killarnee (talk) 10:57, 15 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Killarnee,
- Thank you for your message. Unfortunately, I didn't realise that using multiple accounts is against the rules. Actually, I just wanted to make it easier for English-speaking Wikipedia authors to find information about me and my account. By using the almost identical names "Historian1208" and "Historian1208", I also wanted to ensure transparency.
- So I'd better delete one of the accounts, right? That's ultimately not a problem for me.
- Best regards and looking forward to hear from you, Jörg Historian1208 (talk) 14:09, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
