Welcome![edit]
Hello, Editor usov, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Kostiantyn Usov, 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.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- 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!

November 2021[edit]
Hello, Editor usov, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Selykv (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. If Selykv, or any other account (besides this one) likely to be operated by you resumes editing this article, I will immediately report your accounts for Sockpuppetry. Mako001 (talk) 12:46, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Kostiantyn Usov, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Mako001 (talk) 13:15, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, you may be blocked from editing. Mako001 (talk) 14:08, 23 November 2021 (UTC)
Sockpuppet investigation[edit]
An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Editor usov, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Hello, The Alternate Mako The Editor Usov account is only used by me, its creator. But since at the beginning of working with Wikipedia I needed help with some questions on working with Wiki, a couple of times I turned to Selykv for help, as I could not figure it out on my own
- OK, I'll assume good faith then, but it would be best if you take care what you put on the Kostiantyn Usov article, and you may want to read this, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Also, I noticed that you had uploaded an image which had been previously deleted from commons due to a lack of permission. If you would like to use that image (since it is quite good) I have a few tips.
- Use a lower resolution version, such as 1080x1920 or something, since it will never actually appear large enough to be of any use at the 2400x3500 or whatever it was (I forget exactly, but it was quite large). Few screens even display that many pixels anyway, so even at fullscreen that resolution is pretty useless. For most photos, except certain maps and such, 1080x1920 is (in my opinion) about the highest useful resolution for a final image. Higher resolutions are usually only useful for processing. Even then, the highest useful resolution for an infobox image is closer to half that. (So about 500x800 or something like that)
- Make sure that the image is clearly licenced under a suitable licence, specifically CC-BY, or is made clearly public domain. This must be done somewhere other than Commons or Wikipedia (or Ny other WikiMedia site), even on Kostiantyn's own site (if you have access to that?) would probably be acceptable. Then when you upload, make sure that you clearly state where the image came from, and what license it was originally made available under. Another issue is that if it isn't clear that you are acting on behalf of Kostiantyn, then it is not going to be considered likely that you are got permission to upload that image. If the image isn't CC-BY or public domain, then WikiMedia rules say it usually has to go, since copyright violations are taken quite seriously by the Foundation.

- I don't know if any of this helps, but If you are willing to cooperate, I can check out your contribs on Kostiantyn Usov, and make sure that they meet policy without you getting further warnings. I recommend that you copy the article to your user sandbox or similar, make the changes you would like, and then ask myself or a more experienced editor. This doesn't include Selykv, I must be careful not to violate WP:NPA here, but their editing experience is quite narrow, and they don't seem to understand Wikipedia's policies and guidelines yet.

Kostiantyn Usov moved to draftspace[edit]
An article you recently created, Kostiantyn Usov, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) In addition, there appears to be a WP:UPE or WP:COI conflict. Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, and have addressed the UPE/COI issue, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Please do not move into mainspace yourself. Onel5969 TT me 16:03, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
