User talk:MarcosFernandezMETROAG

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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! In case it is not completely clear to you from the message above, the guidance at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest applies in all respects to you. Most particularly:

- you are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly
- you may propose changes, either by posting on the article talk page (using the {{request edit}} template), or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard.
- you should put new articles through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process rather than creating them directly.

In your edits to Metro AG and Olaf Koch you have not always respected that guidance. May I ask you to take care to do so from now on? You should be aware that paid editors are just barely tolerated in English Wikipedia, and that it's advisable to be completely transparent at all times. Thanks, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:15, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Justlettersandnumbers: Sorry that I am just now replying to this. I have overlooked this somehow. In the meantime, I looked into the guidelines for paid editing much deeper and pledge to keep everything transparent and every suggestion (!) I make neutral and well sourced. I also wanted to pick up your comment regarding merging the articles of Metro AG and Metro Cash & Carry. I would love to get the chance to make a neutral suggestion for a combined article with a major emphasis on the history part. Especially, after the demerger of Metro Group in 2017 a lot has changed organisationally. Looking forward hearing from you. Best, MarcosFernandezMETROAG (talk) 13:37, 6 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Olaf Koch (January 5)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Primefac were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm inclined to agree with the other comment left on this draft; it's barely about Koch and almost entirely about Metro AG. While it is true that Koch was responsible for the events described, at the end of the day the story isn't about him. As near as I can tell, his own personal information isn't even sourced. Please add additional independent reliable sources that discuss the subject in detail.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Olaf Koch and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Olaf Koch, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Olaf Koch (January 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This draft is a request to spin out an article, a form of splitting. Proposals to spin out a topic from an article into another stand-alone article should be discussed at the talk page of the existing article.

This does not mean that the draft should be spun out, and it does not mean that the draft should not be spun out. It does mean that discussion should be on the talk page of the existing article. (If this draft is resubmitted without discussion on the talk page of the existing article, it may be Rejected or nominated for deletion.) See Talk:Metro AG.

There has previously been discussion of whether a separate BLP of this person is in order. Further discussion should be at the talk page of the existing article, Talk:Metro AG. If there is rough consensus among neutral editors (and the author is not a neutral editor) to accept this draft, it may be resubmitted.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Olaf Koch and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Draft:Olaf Koch concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Olaf Koch, a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:24, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Olaf Koch has been accepted

Olaf Koch, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
