User talk:Websusanamendoza

Welcome!

Hello, Websusanamendoza, 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:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• 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!

A summary of some important site policies and guidelines

• It is recommended that you do not add anything relating to yourself to article space, and it is expressly forbidden to use Wikipedia to promote anything about yourself.
• Biographies of persons assumed to be alive are held to especially high standards of verifiability -- all unsourced information may be removed, no matter how plausible.
• Noone owns any article here, or even their edits to articles. At the top of the edit page, it says "Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone," which means that if you don't want someone to change or even remove what you add, then you need to use another site.
• We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
• "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
• Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
• Reliable sources typically include: articles from mainstream magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
• Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.
• Minor edits are those that add or remove little content, and mainly consists of undoing undeniable vandalism or fixing grammar, spelling, or formatting errors.

Very important notice

If this account is being shared by Susana Mendoza's PR team (or whatever), you need to follow these instructions in this link to request a username change. That name must identify you as one individual in that group. After that, only that person is allowed to use the account. Wikipedia does not allow shared accounts. Wikipedia also has policies about editing with a conflict of interest that you should read.

If you are a member of a PR team, an unpaid volunteer, or otherwise working on behalf of Mendoza, you must disclose your affiliation on your user page, using the following template: {{paid|user=Websusanamendoza|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}

If you are Mendoza herself or a family member or friend, you should instead use this template: {{UserboxCOI|1=Wikipedia article name}}

Finally, either way you should stop editing the Susana Mendoza article. You can make edit requests at Talk:Susana Mendoza instead. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:42, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

On the page you reference

On the page you reference, these instructions in this link to request a username change, it states that this is not the page for request a username change. Would you like us to do that?

Second, how do I use this template {{UserboxCOI|1=Wikipedia article name}} if I continue with Websusanamendoza?

Can and will use Talk

We can use edit requests at Talk:Susana Mendoza instead. Good suggestion. Never used that avenue before. We've only updated photos and slight edits via the username websusanamendoza.
