An extended welcome

Hi KressInsel. Welcome to Wikipedia.I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:07, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing

Hi, can you please confirm whether you are a paid editor and/or have a conflict of interest with the subjects of the articles you are editing. Paid editing is allowed but must be declared on your user page and on the talkpage of any articles where there is a conflict of interest as per WP:PAID. The reason I'm asking is your removal of controversy elements from business articles, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 00:17, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Atlantic306, concerning your question I was conducting edits in accordance with WP:RS and WP:OR. That was my goal. No removal of controversy. If it seems like that from the side, then sorry for that. I'm contributing to some live pages about living companies and people as you may see. By the way, I saw you reverted edits. Can you confirm whether you double checked the sources and facts or just reverted in one click? Thanks for the answer --KressInsel (talk) 11:32, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
