User talk:Blikies

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

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, 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!

Your helpdesk post

Hi! I saw your post on the helpdesk, and thought some of the information in the above welcome messsage woulkd be hlepful for you. Regarding getting someone to help you make the changes you think need to be made to Gerrit Verschuur, what you need to do is:

1. Copy the following text: {{edit COI}}
2. Go to Talk:Gerrit Verschuur
3. Click the "add topic" button at the top of Talk:Gerrit Verschuur
4. Paste {{edit COI}} in the edit box
5. Follow that up with a detailed description of what needs to be changed in a "Change X to Y based on Source Z" format
6. Save the page
7. Wait. Sometimes it takes a while for people to get around to edit requests, though it has been going faster lately than it used to. Eventualy someone will take a look at it and either make the changes or follow up with questions.

I hope this is helpful. ~ ONUnicorn^{(Talk|Contribs)}problem solving 17:58, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
