Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

Someone using this IP address, 212.78.213.225, made test edits on the page Houthoff which have been reverted or removed. If you did this, please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to perform. If 212.78.213.225 is a shared IP address and you did not do this, you may wish to consider [ getting a username] to avoid confusion with other editors and further irrelevant notices.

Here are a few good links for newcomers:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Tips on starting your first article
 * Help pages • Tips
 * Introduction to Wikipedia

Here are some other hints and tips:
 * I recommend that you get a username. You do not have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but  [ creating an account]  is quick, free and non-intrusive, requires no personal information, and there are many benefits of having a username. (If you edit without a username, your IP address is used to identify you instead.)
 * When using talk pages, please sign your name at the end of your messages by typing four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically produce your username (or IP address) and the date.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you need help, check out Questions, visit the Teahouse, our help forum for new users, or type  here on  talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! DoebLoggs (talk) 15:22, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Houthoff, 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.&#32;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
 * 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
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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 Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! –Skywatcher68 (talk) 15:22, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm NoobThreePointOh. I noticed that you recently removed content from Houthoff without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Houthoff, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:54, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Houthoff, you may be blocked from editing. NoobThreePointOh (talk) 13:55, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Houthoff. Maria Gemmi (talk) 13:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours to prevent further vandalism. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.
