Welcome!
editHello 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 of use and our policy on paid editing.

editHello, I'm Marchjuly. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Christian Manon, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:25, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
COI editing
editHello, 49.3.210.131. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Christian Manon, 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:28, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- This is a bit of redundant warning perhaps, but the earlier one doesn't seem to have been understand. Given that you seem to either be Christian Manon himself or someone closely connected to him, you should stop directly editing the article and instead use the article talk page to make edit request. Most of the content you've been adding is stuff that's not supported by a citation to a reliable source, and continuing to do so only increases the chance of the article being nominated for deletion. The claim of Wikipedia notability for Manon is already not questionable at best and the addition of more unsourced content doesn't help strengthen that claim. You can respond with a "Bah" to this post as well as you like, but I'm actually doing a WP:BEFORE to try and find reliable sources that might better establish Wikipedia notability because the article is unlikely to survive a deletion nomination in its current form. So, if you're aware of any significant coverage that Manon might've received in reliable secondary sources independent Manon himself, then please post information about them on the article's talk. Even if there not available online or online but behind a paywall, they can still might be OK to use. Continuing to re-add content removed by others for Wikipedia policy or guideline reasons could eventually be seen as edit waring, which in turn could lead to this account also being blocked. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:38, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
