Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Orenelma, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Project Nimbus, 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:
- Best practices for editors with close associations

- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
- The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors
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!
Your recent editing history at Project Nimbus shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:48, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Skywatcher68, I am grateful for the opportunity to engage with you. Upon reviewing the article in question, I noticed a significant bias, characterized by a lack of concrete data related to the project itself. Instead, the article predominantly focuses on controversies and speculative elements. It is my belief that the essence of Wikipedia should be to present information devoid of political inclinations, concentrating solely on factual and technical aspects. To this end, my revisions aim to redirect the article's focus towards these objective details, ensuring that it aligns with the standards expected of Wikipedia content.

- Your preferred version has its own bias and contains virtually no sources. If you're at all associated with the project, you must disclose this association and propose all edits at Talk:Project Nimbus utilizing the guidelines at Template:Edit COI. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:22, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- I wish to clarify that I have no affiliations with the project in question. My intention is to enrich the article with additional sources as necessary. The revised version I propose does not harbor any biases; it solely focuses on the technological aspects and the project's framework, grounded in official data. The previous version of the article disproportionately emphasized controversies, neglecting the technological foundation that underpins the project. This approach is akin to discussing vehicles exclusively in the context of their environmental impact, thereby overlooking their engineering, functionality, and utility. My aim is to provide a more balanced and comprehensive view that encapsulates the core attributes of the project alongside any relevant societal or environmental considerations.

[edit]Hello, I'm Yoshi24517. I noticed that in this edit to Project Nimbus, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (On Vacation) 17:06, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Introduction to contentious topics
[edit]You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Additionally, you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days, and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Please note that per the above, you are not currently permitted to edit the Project Nimbus article at all. Given your edit-warring, any further attempt to force your changes through are unlikely to result in anything but an immediate, indefinite block. AndyTheGrump (talk) 17:19, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
