Welcome!
editHello, Jmatze, 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! —C.Fred (talk) 23:09, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
@C.Fred: Thank you for the information. I am not sure what edits you are referring to, I generally stick to the talk section because I am learning. I have reviewed your documentation. Although I have a conflict of interest (COI) for the Parler page, I posted to the talk section like it suggests and am waiting for someone to review. Would you be able to help correct me on what I suggested correctly/incorrectly and potentially help me review? Also, do you have examples on how you have cited additional sources in the past?

Thank you

- On the one hand, I'm pretty sure you've already read the guidance on editing with a COI, as you do with Parler. On the other hand, this thread makes sure other editors (and admins) who come across your account see that you have the conflict of interest and are willing to work within our guidelines.
- As for your edit requests, I haven't had a chance to go through the sources and assess what they say in relation to your requested edits. —C.Fred (talk) 01:32, 11 November 2019 (UTC)
