Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Everythingisnail. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 17:00, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

I am in no way in breach of the conflict of interest guidelines. Not sure why you are suggesting. Everythingisnail (talk) 17:18, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Graph database. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Please also disclose a possible conflict of interest or paid editing as noted above. GermanJoe (talk) 17:08, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

I think the informational content was high - perhaps TerminusDB is not sufficiently notable - but it was not promotional material. The text was taken from the GitHub page of an open source project and properly referenced. Could you clarify please. Everythingisnail (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * With some exceptions, such lists are usually restricted to entries with a sourced mainspace article to establish the entry's "notability" in Wikipedia's sense of the term - the addition of minor or new projects on a high-traffic website is promotional per se. If you intend to make further edits related to TerminusDB, could you clarify your connection to this project please? Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 17:26, 6 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks - I think it meets that standard. Obviously it is relatively new, and the mainspace article is for review, but it is an open source project so doesn't have the budget to generate a lot of press articles. I am an enthusiast for the project. I am a member of the local meetup, but nothing further. Everythingisnail (talk) 17:33, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * OK, thank you for clarifying. In this case, please wait for an independent review of the draft before you add the article to any other Wikipedia pages. If the topic is indeed notable, it can be added later after the review is done. You are welcome to add as many independent sources as you can to the draft in the meantime - that will increase the draft's chances of getting accepted for mainspace. Hope this helps a bit, but please feel free to ask or post at WP:Teahouse if you have further questions. GermanJoe (talk) 17:37, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
