Welcome!

Hello, Bashir Al-Hashimi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Bashir Al-Hashimi, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

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! — Longchess (talk) 18:02, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

February 2021

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Bashir Al-Hashimi, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Bashir Al-Hashimi, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bashir Al-Hashimi|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. TheDragonFire (talk) 20:38, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Disclosure has now been added as requested. I hope this means the alert can be taken down from the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bashir Al-Hashimi (talk • contribs) 12:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

@TheDragonFire: At the article Bashir Al-Hashimi, User:Bashir Al-Hashimi is clearly writing about themselves, in breach of WP:AUTO; a better message would have been {{subst:uw-autobiography|Bashir Al-Hashimi}}. I suggest that you revert the article back to the state that it was in before User:Bashir Al-Hashimi touched it. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:23, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

@Redrose64: This was actually the correct warning, but there was some OTRS correspondence involved in determining that. The editor has changed their username in accordance with the username policy, hopefully that will clear things up. As for the editorial concerns, feel free to jump in there.

License tagging for File:BMAH.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:BMAH.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi RLB at King's College! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Bashir Al-Hashimi that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very 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. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 00:08, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

You need to make edit requests

Hi RLB at King's College, given you are a paid editor you need to make to edit requests rather than editing articles directly. You might find the Edit Request Wizard helpful. If you have questions, you can ask at the Teahouse. S0091 (talk) 16:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for advice and I have tried to make an edit request today accordingly. RLB at King's College (talk) 13:11, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
