Königubu
Welcome!
editHello, Königubu, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was CJ Hopkins, 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.

editPlease do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to CJ Hopkins. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 21:17, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did at CJ Hopkins. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Edit-summary in this edit DMacks (talk) 21:28, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, Königubu. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page CJ Hopkins, 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:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
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. COI clearly indicated here: https://consentfactory.org/2019/11/05/the-ministry-of-wiki-truth/ Philip Cross (talk) 12:05, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
"WP admins, please do feel free to pretend to explain why this is allowed." Seriously?
editThe only relevant Admins seem to be User:DMacks and myself. Were you referring to both of us? Hardly assuming good faith, is it? On a legal issue, I don't think you've had time yet but please comply with Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Doug Weller talk 12:43, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
Please note the discretionary sanctions for biography articles
editThis is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor. Bishonen | talk 17:17, 6 November 2019 (UTC).
Notice of noticeboard discussion
editThere is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Doug Weller talk 17:32, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
