Hi, Sebastian,

Yes, that can be done. Let me look at it and get back to you LilHelpa (talk) 14:25, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences

Isn't this page already established here in the English version. In the German wiki, you can "move" the page with the tab at the top. That tab may not appear until you have been registered for a few days. I don't see a conflict with any Nepalese organization. Am I missing that? LilHelpa (talk) 14:47, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

See also: Wikipedia:Disambiguation to see how pages are renamed or differentiated. LilHelpa (talk) 14:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, you can create a disambiguation page like that. I suggest you look at the ones for other abbreviations, find one that fits what you want, edit it, copy the edited page, then start a new article page "IAAS" and then paste in the other one and change the necessary text to get what you want. You can do it. Be bold, there are people who patrol new pages who will fix any error you make. LilHelpa (talk) 14:36, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I suggest you spend some time in the help sections getting answers to your questions. I am not an administrator nor trained to give you the help you need. LilHelpa (talk) 17:09, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest...

You are welcome... but, since you are the president of the association, please take the time to read the following:

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article International Association of Students in Agricultural and Related Sciences, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Edcolins (talk) 16:38, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Edcolins, many thanks for your notification here. Indeed, I have started a bit overenthousiastic I am afraid. Some days ago I was advised to be bolt and took it as a reference, thought, in case I do really wrong things people will certainly let me know. I never meant to disclose my identity or write wrong things, but my sole interest was to contribute to wikipedia in the field where I can do it possibly best. I have also added references to what I wrote, tried to keep things to the point without being over the top.

I do understand from reading the texts you suggested that I should have rather put all this in the discussion page to ask someone else to have a look at it and implement in case it fits. In fact I am still aiming at working further, there is still many things that should / could be included here. However, before doing this I would very much appreciate your experienced advice on if the things that I have written already are fine like that or not, meaning, if it makes sense at all if I carry on working on it, publish it on the discussion page and ask other editors to publish in case.

thanks for your help and support in this, Sebastian Oltmanns (talk) 20:41, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
