Welcome!
editHello, Rgb5609, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was David Droga, 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.

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! —Ganesha811 (talk) 23:15, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hello @Ganesha811.Thank you for the warm welcome. I’ve been an editor on Wikipedia for nearly two years, though I took some time off. I appreciate you raising the potential conflict of interest, but I believe my edits have adhered to Wikipedia’s guidelines on neutrality and sourcing. That said, I will continue to ensure my contributions remain objective and well-sourced.
- I find topics related to agencies and individuals in the cultural sector particularly interesting. Understanding their impact, what they do, and how they are recognized is important, and when reliable coverage exists, it should be updated accordingly. Thanks!

- Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I'm reading your response incorrectly, but could you state directly whether or not you have a COI/connection to any of the people/orgs whose articles you have edited? COIs are a problem regardless of the actual content of edits. If you have a COI, that's not a problem, it just means you can declare it, and then make suggestions on talk pages for other editors to review. This system works well and generally results in high quality articles (see Talk:CME Group for an example).—Ganesha811 (talk) 21:27, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have no conflict of interest on the pages I have edited. In my response I was more wondering why edits that meet the guidelines and are neutral, factual and high quality would lead to that question in the first place. Rgb5609 (talk) 18:24, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
