Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, IQEES. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page User:IQEES/sandbox, 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:

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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:13, 22 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Handling COI for new article

edit

Hi IQEES, thanks for reaching out on my talk page! It looks like you're on the right track - you've disclosed your COI on your user page, and you've started your article as a draft in your sandbox. The most important things as a COI editor are to be clear about your affiliation and to avoid editing directly - to enable other editors to review your work before incorporating it into a live article.

I added a template to your sandbox (User:IQEES/sandbox) that gives you a "submit your draft for review" link. When you feel that your draft is ready, you can use that link to ask other editors (unaffiliated with the subject) to check it out and see if it's ready to approve for "mainspace". Let me know when you do that so I can help review it, and let me know if you have other questions. Dreamyshade (talk) 16:17, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
