Welcome!

Hello, Reinhard Müller, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Free Software Foundation Europe, 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

@Widefox: Thank you for welcoming me! I still wonder whether an unpaid membership in an organisation constitutes a conflict of interest. I have followed the links you gave me above but I still didn't find a clear answer to that. Anyway I'll probably limit my edits to that article to uncontroversial changes (like updates of broken external links) and removal of vandalism. --Reinhard Müller (talk) 12:48, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
