User talk:Portoval123
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Portoval123, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Winamp, 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

- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

- Hi Zac67,
- Thanks for your message !
- You are right, I indeed have somehow a conflict of interest (Winamp fan and LLama Group retail shareholder). Of course I was aware of this conflict when I added informations to the Winamp page, that is why I only added informations I thought to be neutral.
- Could you please tell me which part of my modification you considered as non neutral ? How to submit a revised version of modifications ?
- Thanks ! Portoval123 (talk) 08:21, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
- Generally, it's best to not edit pages with COI at all. Instead, propose changes on the talk page and wait for other editors to either approve or do the change. When editing yourself, you should be very careful to keep a neutral tone and not put overdue emphasis on marginal topics. The problems I saw: stock exchange listing/trading is not relevant outside the company's page (if relevant at all). Announcements and future plans are not relevant unless backed by a neutral source (WP:RS). Marketing drivel is not tolerated. --Zac67 (talk) 09:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
