User talk:Giulia84x

Welcome!

Hello, Giulia84x, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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!

About citing yourself

Read WP:SELFCITE and WP:REFSPAM.

In short, if you are adding information and you cite a work you were involved in in some way (that meets our reliable sourcing standards), that can be fine.

But if you are only adding a citation to your work without adding any new information, we regard that as a type of spam.

Also, you need to stop marking all of your edits as minor. Minor edits are small changes that are unlikely to be challenged, such as punctuation or spelling improvements. Adding references is never a minor change. Ian.thomson (talk) 17:26, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

March 2018

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Tactoid, you may be blocked from editing. You have already been warned about promotional self-citation by another editor. This behaviour is not permitted on Wikipedia. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:51, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
