User talk:Bengee123

Welcome!

Hello, Bengee123, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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

Thank You Liz!

Hello user:Liz! I appreciate your welcome! I've been a Wikipedia reader for over a decade, a member for about 4 years, and have started writing more.

{{Help me}} Since you suggested, I would welcome your help. I have been happy to write about topics in my area of expertise, which include logistics, technology, and history. I have been blindsided by a mean-spirited person who has decided to attack me. I am the subject of a page. Someone going by the name "Krutapidla2" formed a single-purpose account, for the sole purpose of posting defamatory content on my site. He must have some sort of vendetta, although I have no idea why. Since I am not a Wikipedia editor, and do this in my spare time, I decided to seek help, and posted a request on a site, in order to take down the defamatory content. "Krutapidla2" then reposted the defamatory content, deleted other positive content, and went on a rampage. He also marked the page for deletion, and added a notation that my page may have been edited for undisclosed payments. This is, of course, the height of irony. The only reason a paid editor offered to help me was to take down the defamatory content in the first place!

This person has continued his destructive behavior. I undid his changes. Then he put them back up. Another person undid his changes. Then he put them back up. And he had the temerity to accuse me of being a paid editor (which I clearly am not, as reflected among many things by my poor knowledge of Wikipedia systems)! Pot, meet kettle.

I am not a Wikipedia expert, but isn't this kind of destructive conduct exactly what the Wikipedia code of conduct is intended to prevent? Can you close down this slanderous "Krutapidla2"? Can you unmask him so he is prevented from continuing his harmful conduct? And can you remove the "undisclosed payments" mark and the "considered for deletion" mark? FYI, after this whole Krutapidla2 fiasco, the editor posted details on the talk page, so he provided full disclosure. And more importantly, none of this would have happened if not for the slanderous postings in violation of neutrality.

Thank you. I appreciate it! Bengee123 (talk) 04:43, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
