Re: Editing help
Hello, Cschnei. If you would kindly review my second bout of comments over at Teahouse, I think that may clear up some miscommunication that's happening between us.

For example, we don't review corrections. They go live immediately and for the rare article in the Pending changes process, are immediately logged in the article history, as well as your own contribution history. Under extreme circumstances where a user with the requisite permissions needs to delete revisions (usually copyright violations), then those still appear in the article's and user's histories.

So we're less a peer-reviewed journal and more a blog with multiple authors. Wikimedia Foundation, in fact, makes it a point of staying out of moderating Wikipedia's content and user interactions. The money you've donated (thank you!) goes toward servers, outreach event, and other stuff.

I know that technical hiccups, before I can save, has lost me hours of work on articles. And since I didn't save, it doesn't appear in the article or the histories. The symptoms look a bit like what you're describing here. Could that be it?

Again, I recognize that this matters a lot to you, as it does to most editors here, and again, I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it. I hope whatever I've written can help you help us. Rotideypoc41352 (talk) 19:52, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like you to assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Hugsyrup 18:45, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Cathy Schneider, 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:
 * 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! Hugsyrup 18:47, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, as you did at User talk:Hugsyrup. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 18:51, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on User talk:Theroadislong. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Theroadislong (talk) 19:46, 28 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello Cschnei. I am an administrator here. Yes, I've read a book or two about the Holocaust. The conflict of interest that was noted related to your editing Cathy Schneider. In my opinion those edits you made are positive and unproblematic, and so I removed that tag. About this edit summary--it is relatively easy to say that other editors picked the wrong reviews; adding the right ones is more productive. Now, no one appreciates being called a Nazi or antisemite or whatever, so I would like to ask you to stop doing that, forever. And the problem is, as someone in the Teahouse noted, that there is no record of this account editing any of those articles--Völkischer Beobachter, Der Stürmer, etc. I noticed that you made an edit to a talk page, the talk page of an IP that you used: I deleted that talk page to protect your privacy, but I can't find any edits from that IP range to any of the articles you indicate. In other words, I don't know what your complaint is based on, what edits are involved, who may have reverted you; what I do know is that we're not in the business of spreading Nazi propaganda, so please assume a bit of good faith and don't say that. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know. But do be careful, when editing, that you do not publish information that can identify your location (through your IP address), for instance. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 22:52, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
