User talk:Raffaelem
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Raffaelem, 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:
- 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
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 Tony, thank you for your note. I was adding factual information and I declare an interest in the page. I use my name as my editor name as a point of disclosure. I would be most grateful if an independent editor would review the page in question. Raffaelem (talk) 05:16, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for the understanding! Looking over the article, I think the key things that are missing are good sources - it is currently virtually unsourced, and under Wikipedia's guidelines for articles about living persons, sources are very important, and information directly from you - a primary source - is generally considered less preferred. Do you have newspaper articles, magazines, or similar coverage of yourself that you could provide links to as sources for the material in the article? That would be a great start.

- Thanks Tony, I'm treating this article as a living document and will add sources progressively. I assume these can be references to scholarly sources, media newspaper articles etc even though I don't have them as hyperlinks? Please advise. Raffaelem (talk) 12:48, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Actually, I realised I should read the resource links provided by your notes and wikipedia. Will do so and align to the guidelines. thanks again. Raffaelem (talk) 12:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds great! If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note on User talk:Tony Fox or visit the help desk for broader topics. Cheers! Tony Fox (arf!) 15:39, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Add a Fact survey and thank you
[edit]Thank you for testing out the Add A Fact browser extension! This extension was developed as an experiment by the Future Audiences team at the Wikimedia Foundation to learn about new ways of contributing to Wikipedia from outside of our website/apps.
We are planning to wrap up this experiment this December, sunsetting the extension and publishing our findings on-wiki. We’d like to invite you to take part in an exit survey to tell us more about your experience of trying out the extension, and to share any ideas you have about how to support new ways of contributing to Wikipedia. The survey is anonymous (see the survey privacy statement) and should take about 10–15 minutes to complete.
You can take the Goole Forms survey here.
Kind regards, MPinchuk (WMF)
