User talk:IWikiVV-5

Welcome!
Hello, IWikiVV-5, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Backup Exec, 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * 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.

Your question about "conflict of interest" and "neutral point of view"
Hello IWikiVV-5, as already mentioned please read WP:COI, especially the part about the need to disclose an eventual "conflict of interest". Also, FAQ/Organizations and WP:NPOV contain some useful additional advice. The article tags should remain, until the concerns have been checked and addressed. To name a few issues: 1) The "Architecture" section is far too detailed and entirely based on company information. This section should focus on a short summary description, ideally based on third-party sources, instead of a complete technical product overview. 2) An encyclopedic article should not address the reader directly (with "you" or similar phrases), and avoid any WP:PEACOCK language. 3) "Major releases" is against WP:NOTDIRECTORY and contains no relevant encyclopedic information. Also, "service packs" and minor updates are not "Major releases" (albeit that problem was already present in earlier article versions). Generally speaking, an article should provide a succinct neutral overview about the topic and all relevant encyclopedic information. Technical details should be limited to the most significant features as covered by independent third-party sources. With the current level of elaborate detail, the article reads more like a product leaflet. GermanJoe (talk) 10:33, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Regarding my edits on the page: Backup_Exec
Thank You so much User:GermanJoe for the quick turnaround and assistance. I'm making the changes you underlined. Hopefully, that should be fine and in accordance with the COI and other Wikipedia policies. Look forward to your assistance with it.

Thanks again!
