Welcome! edit
Hello, V8V88V8V88, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- How to write a great article
- Simplified Manual of Style
- Your first article
- Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community
- Feel free to make test edits in the sandbox
- and check out the Task Center, for ideas about what to work on.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, please see our help pages, and if you can't find what you are looking for there, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or place {{Help me}} on this page and someone will drop by to help. Again, welcome! Aerin17 (t • c) 18:06, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- I didn't remember to check the page history until after I'd left this message. I see that a number of other users have given you advice on how to go about editing Wikipedia while following the website's policies on conflict of interest. As your assigned mentor, I would strongly encourage you to heed the advice of these editors and check out the helpful links they left here previously.
- I also see that you have left comments previously saying that you are done with Wikipedia, but I assume, based on the fact that you left me a message after that, that you are still interested in editing. If so, let me know, and I will be happy to help you out. Aerin17 (t • c) 18:18, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Aerin17 can you please tell me how do I solve this COI issue, I don't wanna indulge into this nonsense debate again. I am not going to create article of that subject again so why do I have to accept some devil soul trading disclosure thingie? I guess it's better to leave this platform. You were assigned as my mentor so I thought it would be better to ask directly ask you for help but none of you guys are shutting up about this COI nonsense, even when I have nothing to do with that subject anymore. If I am still asked to declare this COI even when I am not editing anything related to that subject I don't think there's any point of using this same ID or Wikipedia at all.

- If you stay away from editing articles that you have a connection to, you are totally fine and don't need to declare a COI. Just stick to what you said, don't create articles related to that subject again, and people will stop bugging you about it. The simplest way to solve the issue is just to move on and edit articles on a different topic. What kinds of articles are you interested in working on? Aerin17 (t • c) 01:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks @Aerin17 I will make sure to stay away from that topic. Apart from that I am interested in FOSS, Linux / Unix OS, Local Open Source Groups and Meet. V8V88V8V88 (talk) 02:15, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
- I wonder if you might be interested in checking out WikiProject Computer Science? They have some ideas of articles roughly related to those topics that could use improvement. I will admit that this is not my area of expertise, so I'm not sure exactly which of their suggested articles you'd be interested in. But, for instance, you could look through Category:Computer science stubs and see if there are any articles that you'd be interested in expanding.
- If you're looking for another place to get started, not necessarily related to those topics, Special:Homepage will give you some suggestions of quick, easy edits to try out. Aerin17 (t • c) 16:29, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
