User talk:Lory2esc

Welcome!

Hello, Lory2esc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Comparison of project management software, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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!

Thank you

Thank you, Joe! I am not sure if this was an automatic message, however, it was useful. I am not paid to edit Wikipedia and I do not know why it is so suspicious. I am a Lean enthusiast and as I am new to Wikipedia, decided that these tables would be the least invasive way to get used to the editing process. There are many tools missing and I thought such small steps could be useful. Is there anything I am not allowed to write about due to such suspicions? I would like to post something for review first, but I did not know how, so thank you for the message! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lory2esc (talk • contribs) 12:31, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Lory2esc:, thank you for the clarification. I'll still try to answer your question in general, even if it doesn't apply to you in this case then: paid writers and also other editors connected to companies and organizations (for example as employees and volunteers) can contribute to Wikipedia, but they should request substantial edits on article talkpages or create draft versions for review by uninvolved editors. Directly editing mainspace articles with a possible conflict of interest in these articles is generally discouraged. The background and details about this aspect are quite complex and a lot better explained at WP:COI. Please feel free to ask me if you have any further questions. You can also contact most editors by using {{ping|editor name}} in your message, when you sign it with ~~~~ at the end. Hope that helps. GermanJoe (talk) 14:18, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@GermanJoe: Thanks again :) I now understand what it is meant by COI. However, I am still not connected to an organization, it was just a tool I used and thought I could not go wrong by writing about something I am familiar with and is new to Wikipedia. I guess it could be easily misinterpreted and maybe my bad. If I understood you correctly, I may propose suggestions on the talk pages and then you or other editor could eventually accept them? I just wanted to make small edits, which I am sure are correct. I apologize for interfering, I never meant to act impolite or promotional in any way :( I guess I made the same mistake with another page I tried to create - Lean Brand ... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lory2esc (talk • contribs) 14:30, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No need to apologize at all. A lot of Wikipedia's guidelines and customs can appear confusing or even illogical at first, and the early learning curve can be a bit steep. But most editors will be glad to help if you have any questions - I am sorry, if my initial remarks were not clear enough. As you are not connected to a company or organization, that is covered in these articles, you can edit these articles in mainspace directly. Any improvements there are appreciated. The mentioned restrictions only apply to editors with a conflict of interest. Hope that clarifies a few of the mentioned aspects. GermanJoe (talk) 16:39, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@GermanJoe: Thank you, insights are appreciated! I am afraid other editors would be also deleting some stuff, but I hope I could soon build a good reputation :/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lory2esc (talk • contribs) 09:43, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@GermanJoe: I am sorry for bothering you again, but you said to ping you if I had questions and I decided to take advantage of your kind offer. I created a page on a topic I am familiar with. There is a red blink to it already and I believe if it would be useful if approved and more things are added by editors and users. My question is how do I request an editor to move the draft to Wikipedia and how to initiate a constructive discussion, because so far two pages have been speedy deleted and accused in 'promotion', which was not even close to reality :( Thank you in advance! Lory2esc (talk) 10:12, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Lory2esc! I've submitted your draft for review, and if it's approved, it will be moved. You asked a few questions about what is considered promotion on Wikipedia. WP:PROMO and WP:NPOV might help. :) TheDragonFire (talk) 13:12, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TheDragonFire: Thank you so much! I've read them and I consider the article a 'pass' from the promo and npov perspectives ... However, editors may have different opinions, so let's see :)) I'm so excited!

Speedy deletion nomination of Lean Brand

Hello Lory2esc,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lean Brand for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

TheLongTone (talk) 13:53, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TheLongTone: Hey, I noted that Lean Brand page is deleted, but how is promotion defined? I really have no idea how this text could have been promotional or advertising. I am sorry for bothering you, I guess you are fed up with such questions, but I am new to Wikipedia and I feel a bit frustrated. Thank you in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lory2esc (talk • contribs) 15:52, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Lean manufacturing into Lean project management. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:09, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Diannaa: Thank you very much for the information, point taken for future edits! I appreciate remarks, as I am new to Wikipedia :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lory2esc (talk • contribs) 14:13, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please copy-edit and remove the brochure ala manual-like tone of the draft.You ain't selling your software over here.
