April 2012[edit]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed your recent edit to April 2012 Aceh earthquake does not have an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks!

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Manuel Funk. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Rittal, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Kleuske (talk) 12:38, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kleuske. Yes, I work for Rittal but I don't see a COI because I just delivered a translation of ther German article which I didn't wrote in the first place. Unfortunately I forgot to mention that this is a translation. --Manuel Funk (talk) 13:11, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are a paid editor with a conflict of interest. Please peruse WP:COI and Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure to find out why that's not OK. Not even for you. Kleuske (talk) 13:19, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
