User talk:PeterKz
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, PeterKz, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was National Library of Sweden, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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.

before the question. Again, welcome! Altamel (talk) 15:37, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
- The rules about COI only apply to topics where you do have a conflict of interest. I noticed you have also edited articles unrelated to your place of employment, such as Cuba and Comparison of IPv6 support in operating systems. If you do not have a conflict of interest with regards to those topics, you may edit those freely. Altamel (talk) 15:43, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
Spam
[edit]Hi. Your edit to Leviathan has been reverted. You are forbidden from using Wikipedia to establish links to your place of employment and adding a sentence like that to the lead section is undue coverage. Chris Troutman (talk) 14:04, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, I declared a conflict of interest in different article and got the impression that it was OK as long as it is not being promotional. --PeterKz (talk) 07:25, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
- We very much appreciate your honesty about conflict of interest. However, linkspam is still disallowed and often you should make an edit request on a talk page rather than do it yourself if it would create the appearance of impropriety. Again, it's also undue to put that sentence in the lede. Chris Troutman (talk) 09:43, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
