Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Truma (company), and I noticed that your username, "Truma de", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:39, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

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

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 10:08, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would again point out that if you are an employee of Truma, you need to declare that per the policies linked to above. If you are paid to edit here, you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to declare that fact; if you do not, you could be blocked from editing. 331dot (talk) 08:12, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331dot, Thank you for your message! Yes, I'm an employee of Truma and were asked to keep the company page updated. I'm not paid to edit here. Please let me know what I did wrong - is it because I didn't mention a source for the change? Sorry, but I don't understand where and what to declare? I already sent an email to verify that I'm writing as Truma and got the information that the account was verified on Di 24.10.2017 17:38. I would really appreciate your help as I'm a little bit lost and don't want to be blocked! Thank you! Truma Andrea (talk) 09:57, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To come back to this, if you are an employee of the company, that is considered a paid editing relationship that you must formally declare per WP:PAID, even if your job duties do not specifically require you to edit here; though in your case, they do as you state that you were asked to keep the page updated. You also should avoid editing the article about your company directly(an exception would be to revert obvious vandalism) and instead make edit requests on the article talk page, please see WP:ER for more information on how to do that. 331dot (talk) 09:13, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot: Thank you for your helpful information, I hope I declared my paid editing correctly on all pages. In the future I will make edit requests as described! Truma Andrea (talk) 08:51, 8 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
