Here's wishing you a welcome to Wikipedia, PaceCFP. Thank you for your contributions. Here are some useful links, which have information to help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Editor's index to Wikipedia
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
Please do take some time to review the information in the links above. Again, welcome! Jytdog (talk) 02:31, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
User name issue
edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "PaceCFP", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 02:32, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi
editPlease do read the note above carefully. Your use of Wikipedia so far has not been appropriate - it is not OK to spam references to your group and publications in Wikipedia - we are not a vehicle for promotion, as is described in the WP:PROMO policy. Happy to discuss if this is not clear to you. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 02:33, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
- You are heading for a block for abusing WP to promote publications from your group. We love experts but not when they abuse WP for self-promotion. Please read WP:EXPERT and WP:SELFCITE. If you don't understand the problem, please reply here so we can discuss it. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 23:16, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, PaceCFP520. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 23:07, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
