Welcome!

Hello, Naustin522, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Simcha Jacobovici, 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:

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, visit the Teahouse, 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!   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

You've edited here before, yes?

  Hello, Naustin522, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Naustin1980 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:20, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
I'm unclear what the issue is. Yes, I work for Associated Producers. I was simply wanting to update my boss' bio. The paragraph I was trying to add is not controversial and I supported my statements with links. So I'm not sure what the problem is in publishing that paragraph.....thank you. Naustin522 (talk) 17:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
The issue is you have an obvious conflict of interest. Rather than editing the article directly, you and @APJohnM: need to propose edits at Talk:Simcha Jacobovici under the tag outlined by Template:Edit COI and let other editors decide if the proposed edit(s) should be included in the main page.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:42, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
OK, thank you. We will gather a few more back up links to support this paragraph and resubmit the way you say. Naustin522 (talk) 21:00, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Simcha Jacobovici, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Remember: Wikipedia is not censored. GenoV84 (talk) 21:45, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Skywatcher68: You were right about them abusing multiple accounts. They were blocked yesterday due to their disruptive edits on Jacobovici's biography through the IP address 77.124.2.18, now they are doing it again by using this account. GenoV84 (talk) 21:57, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Simcha Jacobovici) for disruptive editing on a page where you have a clear conflict of interest.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Ad Orientem (talk) 22:43, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

 Welcome Naustin522!

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:

    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest

If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
