User talk:AIEFoundation

Welcome!
Hello, AIEFoundation, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;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.&#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:
 * The 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

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, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! JarrahTree 04:58, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi User:JarrahTree, do you mean that I should have put a 'COI' notice when I requested a page? AIEFoundation (talk) 05:05, 21 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Gday the place can be tricky
 * (1) shouldnt have a user name of what you are writing about - breaks basic rule of editing
 * (2) much better from a user name that doesnt relate to where you are writing about
 * (3) an article about AIE should not be written by an editor with a user name with AIE in it !
 * (4) very important when editing inthe area that its not from aie website or docs - WP:RS keeps you clear
 * (5) dont hesitate to ask - always better check out things before getting in deep, so to speak JarrahTree 05:19, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Regularly
Australian corporate entities think its a good idea to have an employee write entries about the subject area of the body.
 * wrong - WP:COI and WP:NOT - also issues relating to being paid editors


 * Best to either change WP:USERNAME or go through many hoops relative to editing anything about Aboriginal Australia, your choice.

Depending on the editor, you could get blocked soon enough for the username - if not, there is the issue of the COI.

Please get a handle of why and how editing in an institutions name is not a good idea. Thanks JarrahTree 05:02, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 07:49, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
