Welcome!

[edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Swedish Orphan Biovitrum, 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, 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!

Hi. Thanks PamD for your comments. I hope I haven't done anything wrong. I have tried to be as transparent as I can, stating in my bio and my name that I am employed by Sobi. I also posted my revision to the Sobi talk page for a couple of weeks before publishing, but wasn't aware about the possibility of proofreading. I have also tried to make the revisions as neutral as possible, but explaining how the company has changed in the past few years since the last update. The only section that could be seen as promotional was the "pioneer" sentence, which was in the text before my revisions. I can confirm that my Wikipedia account is only used by me, not by any other colleague. If my user name is seen as too promotional, I will submit a request for a change, but thought referring to the company name would assist in transparency. The revision has not been undone, so I hope it is seen by the editors as suitable. I am extremely grateful for all guidance and editing, and will definitely submit any future revisions for proofreading before publishing. Best wishes for the holidays, John 13:42, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
