Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Bernhard Eitel, 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:

• 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!

Wikipedia is not a business directory

Hi - your attempts to add contact details for Bernhard Eitel triggered one of our edit filters. Please read WP:NOTDIR - Wikipedia is not a business directory, we do not host contact details for the subjects of our articles. You also need to review COI and PAID - your userpage on Wikimedia Commons seems to suggest that you would have a conflict of interest with this subject, and that you are employed by the institution that they are the rector of. Please make no further edits to that page directly - you may use an edit request on the talk page to suggest changes. You also need to make the necessary declarations here, in line with the guidance given in the guidelines I've linked you to. Thanks GirthSummit _(blether) 11:34, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
