Hi, please stop enabling catogies on User:Birkenfeige/Vladimir Antonovich Kovalevsky until it is moved to mainspace. Please see WP:USERNOCAT for more information. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 14:04, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

I´m sorry. I translated ist from German Wikipedia. There it is necessary to add categories bevor moving. I did not notice this other rule here.
Now it is moved. Birkenfeige (talk) 14:44, 28 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Birkenfeige. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Vladimir Antonovich Kovalevsky, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You seem to be solely interested in writing about Vladimir Antonovich Kovalevsky and promoting his book. Please declare whether or not you have a conflict of interest.

Hello SailingInABathTub.
I declare I have no conflict of interest. And no, I´m not solely interested in writing about V. A. Kovalevsky. I wrote some contributions in German Wikipedia in recent years, also the contribution about Kovalevsky. It was my first one, which was interesting for not only German speaking people. So I started writing my first contribution in English Wikipedia. There are some other rules here than in German Wikipedia, but I think I got it. I finished my work on the Kovalevsky-contribution and on linked pages yesterday. Birkenfeige (talk) 10:17, 6 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
