Hello, Maxdev1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Ghost (operating system), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 16:43, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Melcous!

Thank you for the review and information on the COI topic. Indeed I'm the main developer of the operating system I wrote the article about - I'm taking much care to not make it any biased, though! I'm orienting on other articles about operating systems to make sure my article only contains factual and objective information about the system. It is not meant to be any kind of advertisement. Because it is a research & educational system, my intention is to make information about it available for anyone interested in the operating systems topic, and to give students etc. a source of information on it.

Hi Maxdev, thanks for your reply and thanks for disclosing your COI which is helpful. Can I make a few suggestions then: the article need mores independent, reliable sources, particularly for the content about design. There are also quite a few "buzzwords" in the article such as "functionalities" or what I assume are technical words like "libm." Wikipedia articles should be understandable to the widest possible audience so if you can change those into as much everyday English as possible that would be great. Finally, I would recommend you leave the maintenance tags at the top of the article and allow other editors who do not have a conflict to decide when those issues are resolved. The topic is not one I know much about, but if you have questions about wikipedia editing or formatting that you think I might be able to help with, feel free to ask.
