Welcome! edit

Hello, Katrin Teubner, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was International Association for Danube Research, 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:

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! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

This is the English Wikipedia edit

Hi, you're on en.wikipedia.org. Could you please create German articles at de.wikipedia.org instead? Thanks! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:52, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi ToBeFree oder sollte ich besser sagen "Um Frei zu Sein", denn jeder kann sich ja mal ein englisch aussehendes Mäntelchen umhängen - just to repeat what I have please mentioned before: Die Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Donausforschung gibt es nicht (noch mal: sie existiert nicht) - dieser Verein heißt seit Jahrzehnten "International Association of Danube Research" - jetzt hätte ich gern von TOBeFree eine konstruktive Antwort, wie man eine engl Seite löschen können will und zugleich eine dt Seite fordern kann zu schreiben, wo doch diese Schreiberei so dann schon gar nicht mehr relevant ist. Ich hoffe dass bei anderen Themen die von der Wiki-Community empfohlenen Editoren in ihrer Meinungsäußerung mehr fundiert sind - einfach die IAD-Int Assoc Danube Res zu löschen (was man hier verschieben nennt) finde ich gewöhnungsbedüftig und ich verstehe hier immer noch nicht ganz dass eine seriös ausgearbeitete Wikipedia-Seite mit einem Handschlag einfach der Allgemeinheit entzogen wurde. Es gleicht mir fast einer Bestrafung. Vielleicht hätte es ja doch jemand unter den Wiki-Lesern interessiert, was die "Int Assoc Danube Res" wohl ist. Die jetzige Fassung der engl und dt Seite entspricht absolut nicht dem aktuellen Stand (wo auch immer sie auftaucht in den WikiNachfolgeSeiten) und verweist auch nicht auf die vielen Links mit Referenzen wie sie Dez 2018 ausgearbeitet war. Warum kann jemand ohne erkennbaren fachlichen Background (soweit ich gesehen habe war der/die maßgebliche Editor/in mit dem Aha-Erlebnis, er/sie habe was erkannt, habe anhand der ausgeschriebenen Namens die Nähe zum Verein entdeckt), jemand der anscheinend fern von allem wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten (zB in dem Umweltbereich) geschweige denn sich in irgendeiner seriösen Publikationstätigkeit gute Erfahrung außerhalb von Wikipedia aneignen konnte, so durchdringend und grundlegend da schalten und walten. Wonach werden die Wiki-Editoren ausgewählt – und wie qualifizieren sich die Wiki-Editoren für „ihre“ spezifischen Themenbereiche? Üblicherweise sagt schon der Hausverstand, dass man sich nur zu Themen äußert, wo man sich auskennt und auch dann beitragen kann. Wie ist dies in Wikipedia gelöst? Diese letzte Frage war bitte eine ernsthafte Frage und mir auch grundlegende Frage. Ich versteh es eben einfach nicht. Woanders muss man sich als Reviewer in Zeitschriften qualifizieren!

Regarding Talk:Die Internationale Arbeitsgemeinschaft Donauforschung edit

Hi Katrin Teubner,

as described on the page itself, you seem to be the current general secretary of the organization. Please stop your promotional edits. And no, German articles do not belong to en.wikipedia.org. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:07, 17 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

You are free to create articles written in German at the German Wikipedia. However you are still obligated to follow the German Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest (de:Wikipedia:Interessenkonflikt) and the policy on paid editing disclosure (meta:TOU/de#paid-contrib-disclosure). --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 18:43, 18 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
