Hello Julietdeltalima, I'm sorry if the modification I made on the Maple article hurt you. However, I don't see what conflict of interest I could have on this topic. According to the description of a conflict of interest, I'm not, I don't work for, or represent maples. I and my collaborators are working on maples, and despite the quality of the wikipedia page for the genus Acer, I found interesting to mention the (logical, as it was just published) missing information that the relationships of the various sections in the genus have been recently delineated (yes, I'm a co-author of this study). I added a reference, as required by Wikipedia, to the open access paper.

In the revision history, you mentioned "How is it anything other than a not-okay link-booster ?". It is the link to this paper, describing and explaining exactly what is written just before in the page (i.e. it is a reference).

Sorry, I'm not familiar with all the wikipedia system (I cannot even find a way to reply to your email....), but I'm really sorry that adding an up-to-date information is considered as spamming or a conflict of interest. I'm not working only on maples, so I will refrain myself to propose improvement on other pages that would fit with my topics of expertise.

I hope this reply will find you, despite likely not being posted in the right place. Best wishes, Hin175 (talk) 20:45, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Hin175, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Maple, 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.
