I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Getting the articles just right can be tricky - but there are lots of people to ask!

If you have any questions, just click on the Contact Me link after my signature at the end of this section. Alternatively, check out Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question.

By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add  at the end of your comment. That will put your user name and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the  icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.

Possible conflict of interest
Hi! When you applied for an account, you mentioned details about your factory.

Please note that if you work at an organisation, it is recommended that you do not write an article about it, or add to a current article yourself. This is because you would have a conflict of interest - please read Wikipedia's Guidelines about Conflict of Interest.

If you want an article created about your factory, your best best would be to go to Requested Articles and ask there.

For an article to be created, there needs to be an indication of its notability - specifically its notability as an organisation. If you click on those two links, it will go to Wikipedia's guidelines on notability. Also, all information needs to be verifiable using independent, reliable sources.

If you want to add to an existing article, or you want to amend it, I would suggest that you make your request on the article's talk page. To get to the talk page, go to the article, and click on discussion at the top of the page.

Again, any additions/changes need to be verifiable using independent, reliable sources.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask for help using any of the methods I've mentioned in my welcome message above.

Enjoy using Wikipedia!
