User talk:Eitan Muller

Welcome!

Hello, Eitan Muller, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Eitan Muller, 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.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Eitan Muller. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Eitan Muller, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. LakesideMiners^{Come Talk To Me!} 15:09, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note regarding minor edits.

Hi Eitan Muller! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Eitan Muller that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Codename AD ^talk 15:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. I'm trying to considerably shorten the webpage and will take your comment into account. Eitan Muller (talk) 15:50, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Eitan, the whole thing is kind of problematic, including your user name--I really should block this to prevent abuse, but I think I can accept that you are you. You want to improve the article--well, the easiest thing to do, for right now, is to pull out the file folder with book reviews (I assume those exist), and adding those as references to the bibliography. And perhaps some of those also provide some reliable information about, ahem, the subject's career? We need reliable secondary sources. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 16:48, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
