Minor edits[edit]

Hi Lamestain98, thanks for your edits on Jerma985 - oh and the two on Cr1TiKaL! I just wanted to let you know that you can check the minor edit box when making an uncontroversial edit, such as statistics changes. This basically advises other editors that your change is minor and not requiring their urgent attention. Thanks, Pabsoluterince (talk) 00:56, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022[edit]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

You can use the edit summary field to explain your reasoning for an edit, or provide a description of what the edit changes. Summaries save time for other editors and reduce the chances your edit will be misunderstood. For some edits a summary may be quite brief.

Please provide an edit summary for every edit you make. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks! Yeeno (talk) 23:40, 21 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Lamestain98. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jerma985, 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. Thank you. Graywalls (talk) 01:59, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
