Hello, I'm Discospinster. I noticed that you made a change to an article, The Irrawaddy, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ... discospinster _talk 02:15, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Serge Pun, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥^{(ContainThisEmber?)} 03:53, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Serge Pun, you may be blocked from editing. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥^{(ContainThisEmber?)} 04:01, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm YesI'mOnFire. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Serge Pun have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥^{(ContainThisEmber?)} 04:17, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, AussieRichard51. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Serge Pun, 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 article subjects 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 🔥YesI'mOnFire🔥^{(ContainThisEmber?)} 04:16, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, AussieRichard51!

Welcome to Wikipedia, AussieRichard51! I'm Ozzie10aaaa, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia!--Ozzie10aaaa (talk) 16:06, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
