User talk:Alexfdc

Welcome!
Hello, Alexfdc, 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 our use and 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!

Help me!
Please help me with writing an article that meets Wikipedia's standards about Form.com, the company for which I work.

 * Hi Alexfdc! I added an automated welcome message above with a lot of useful links for you to read through. The short answer is: you should not write an article for the company at which you work. If the company is notable, someone else will write about it. If nobody has made an article yet, then the company might not meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Although editing on behalf of your employer/company is not strictly forbidden, it is both frowned upon by the volunteer community, strictly regulated by the Terms of Use, and extremely difficult to perform successfully. First and foremost you must disclose any contributions you make on behalf of an employer or for which you are being compensated. The simplest first step for you to take is probably to draft an article by using the Article wizard and following the prompts and directions (make sure to choose "I'm paid to edit" so you get the most relevant guidance for your situation).

 * Oh and I did see your disclosure on your userpage, it's excellent, I just felt like I had to mention the disclosure obligation anyways as an integral part of navigating your situation. :) Ben · Salvidrim!   &#9993;  15:45, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
