User talk:Carina.
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Carina., and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was AVL (engineering company), 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:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
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! -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:17, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
- It's very important that you take the time to read through the pages linked to above because I'm not sure whether the policies and guidelines for German Wikipedia are the same as English Wikipedia when it comes to conflict of interest editing and paid-contributions. I suggest that you no longer directly edit the article, but instead follow the advice given WP:PSCOI#Steps for engagement and start making edit requests on the article's talk page instead when you feel a change needs to be made. If you've got any question about any of the above, you can ask for assistance at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard and someone will try and help you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:21, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
Nomination of AVL (engineering company) for deletion
[edit]
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article AVL (engineering company), to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.
The discussion will take place at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AVL (engineering company) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion.
