User talk:Kattamaki
Welcome
[edit]Hello, Kattamaki, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice 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 any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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.
The one firm 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Wikipelli Talk 19:52, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Sigurd Raschèr
[edit]Hi... I read over your additions to the Sigurd Raschèr and, by and large, they are very productive. I also noticed that you added " Edited by Carina Rascher " which suggests to me that you are the subject's daughter(?)
While you can edit an article about a relative, it is generally hard to do neutrally. Obviously, you would wish to have only good things written and tend not to give all information. It's not impossible, mind you, but it is difficult.
Also, edits to articles are not credited within the article itself.
I also noticed that you did not include any references for the information that you added. Obviously, if you are the subjects daughter, you know the information is correct! But an encyclopedia like Wikipedia relies on verifiability. Other editors and readers of the articles need to know the sources of the information.
I hope you continue to edit. Some or all of your additions might be deleted by other editors. Don't worry.. Just find reliable, 3rd-party sources for the information and you can add it again. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know! Wikipelli Talk 20:00, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi Kattamaki... I looked over your edits and I left a couple of messages on your talk page. Please take the time to read them (and the links) carefully. Since you are editing an article about your father, it will be very difficult to edit neutrally. You might also want to take a look at this page.
If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to let me know! Just click "Talk" after my name and you'll go to my talk page and you can leave me a message.
