April 2019

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself, at George Siedel. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on George Siedel. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. John from Idegon (talk) 15:43, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Conflict of interest editing

Hello, Gsiedel. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page George Siedel, 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 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 conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:00, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Gsiedel. Please also refer to Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, Wikipedia:Ownership of content and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Dealing with articles about yourself for additional reference. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:03, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Gsiedel", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because accounts may be soft-blocked as a precaution against damaging impersonation as explained in WP:REALNAME when the username is the same as that of a specific identifiable person (e.g someone who has a Wikipedia article written about them). In such cases, the account may remain blocked until the account holder's identity can be verified by email by Wikimedia OTRS. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:12, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
