Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Acn1896. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Automobile Club de Nice, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 14:27, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Different rules between Wikipedia projects
Hi Acn1896, welcome to English Wikipedia! I noticed you have been active on French Wikipedia and have now started on his version. I would like to let you know that some rules you are familiar with from Fr Wiki may not necessarily be the same on En Wiki. In particular, username policy on En Wiki does not allow promotional or shared use usernames. Pls see WP:UPOL. Your username implies that it is associated with the Auto Club de Nice from 1896. Therefore it appears to be both promotional and may be used by several people within the club. In order to edit articles on En Wiki, you should consider changing the username so that those concerns are addressed. The username policy gives some guidance on this. I have also given you some background on editing articles about topics that may have a WP:COI. It is generally discouraged to edit articles you are related to. If you have any questions about this, please let me know. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 14:35, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jack, Yes I am active from time to time to the French wiki, I decided to use my spare vacation time to work on the French page and just noticed that no English page were done on this old Club. This club is not a commercial one, and it is a non-profitable organisation which has a long history. I will do my best to follow the enwiki rules.
 * Hi there, I'm not sure you familiarised yourself with the conflict of interest policy. It does not really matter that the ACN is non-profit, given your association with the club, edits you make on the club's article are likely unduly influenced. I would therefore like to ask you to stop editing the article about ACN. If there are any specific changes you would like to have made, you are free to request them on the article's talk page, disclosing your conflict of interest each time. You should also not edit English Wikipedia until you have changed your username in accordance with English WP username policy. Thanks. pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:25, 4 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Jack, already requested the user name change, waiting for the wiki approver to respect the EN rules... And yes I am under influence like any historic fans when writing article on something, we like.
 * Thanks and happy editing! pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 15:52, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Automobile Club de Nice moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Automobile Club de Nice, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page.

 * Hi, I was stopped by COI rules, now it is clarified, I will continue work on the artcile later.

Translating within Wikipedia
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you added text translated from the corresponding French Wikipedia article into Draft:Automobile Club de Nice. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When translating within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page where you add the content. Better still, you can place a translated page template on the talk-page of the article; I've done that for you in this case. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Translating from other-language Wikimedia projects. Thank you.
