Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, MPI-INF. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Max Planck Institute for Informatics, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I know you've already disclosed your employment status. Once you get your username changed, please comply with the above request on how to update the MPI article. I've reverted all of your changes. - UtherSRG (talk) 17:08, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

That will be fine as a new username. Before it is changed, do you understand that in most cases you should avoid directly editing about your employer, and instead make formal edit requests on the talk page? 331dot (talk) 09:59, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Changes reverted at talk page for Max Planck Institute for Informatics
[edit]Hello! just a note informing you that I have reverted the changes you made at the talk page for the Max Planck Institute for informatics because those changes did not follow the guidelines at WP:REDACT. Those guidelines state that any changes you make to previous talk page posts of yours after someone has edited after you need to be shown by using underlined font for inserted text and strikeout font for deleted text. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the guidelines there before making changes to previous posts of yours on the talk page. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
