Account names

edit

@Stape Ivanna Hello, I am a fellow editor. I know that everything at Wikipedia can be confusing. Since you were discussing this on your Talk page and in the Teahouse, I'll mention that an account name (in your case, "Stape Ivanna") is not related to the article, or articles, that you plan to create or edit. When you said "I thought it's the title article + nickname" -- that's not right. A user with the account name "Green Banana" (for example) can create article(s) on any (reliably referenced, and notable) topic, such as, for example, "Rainfall in the Gulf Coast". Then the same user could add some information to an article about commercial airlines. Most editors contribute to several articles, and almost all articles were written and updated by many different people, sometimes over a period of years.

Some editors user their real names as account names, and many do not. See my username, for instance... it's not my real name (of course)!

Also, to clarify paid status and disclosure (click here for details): you are considered to be paid in Wikipedia's terms if you work for the company the article is about, or even if you are an unpaid intern. "Paid" status, which requires disclosure before creating or editing an article about your company, does not require that you are being paid to write the article. I hope this info helps, and welcome to Wikipedia. David10244 (talk) 08:21, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi!
Thank you so much!
Now everything's clear with the nickname...
But I am still confused if I can write articles about server-side tracking, tags, stape, server gtm - since there's no info at all on wikipedia about this. Is it still prohibited, because I'm "paid" and have "conflict of interest"? Sova Hol (talk) 09:02, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
PAID and/or COI editors can create articles as long as the connection is declared on User page. For example, you can create and submit a draft about Stape, and succeed if all content is verified by references written by people with no connection to the company. As an alternative, you can draft and submit an article about server-side tracking with no content or refs about Stape. If the latter, you could put on your Talk page and the draft's Talk page that you are connected to a company that provides server-side tracking, but are not naming nor referencing company content in the draft. Once such an article exists, other editors might name/reference companies active in this field.
Also, see Zendesk for a troubled article about a company active in this area. David notMD (talk) 10:36, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
