Hello, JFVerrier. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Oracle Oracle Database, 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, 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. Djm-leighpark (talk) 14:06, 26 September 2019 (UTC) (Corrected Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:03, 26 September 2019 (UTC))

I don't understand why I cannot rename sections in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Database.

 * I don't understand why I cannot rename sections in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Database.
 * I don't understand why I cannot add a sentence in the overview of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oracle_Database page. Is it because we added citations to Wikipedia in the sentence? Should we use links to refer Wikipedia refs? JFVerrier (talk) 16:25, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "Releases and versions" is neutral. "Evolution" (your preferred section title) is positively loaded. Wikipedia, being an encyclopedia, prefers to use neutral language over loaded language. That's why your attempt to rename the section was reverted. As for the second question, you are correct. Wikipedia articles can't be used to source other Wikipedia articles, see WP:CIRCULAR. 78.28.45.145 (talk) 16:46, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the first answers. I have another question: Should I always talk to you to implement any update (rename paragraphs, move paragraphs, remove/add paragraphs, update text)? JFVerrier (talk) 16:50, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't think that would be practical for either of us. Incidentally, it wasn't I who reverted your changes in the first place; you can see who did that in the article's history. As a general rule, you don't need anyone's permission to make edits, but if a change you make gets reverted, it's considered a good practice to discuss it on the article's talk page instead of reinstating the edit that was undone; for more information, see BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. 78.28.45.145 (talk) 17:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)

Edit requests example
I'd suggest looking at Talk:Imperva and Talk:Aprimo and Talk:Tim Berners-Lee as examples of use of Template:Request edit. These are not best of examples as they typically all have issues but it might give you some idea of a better approach. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:59, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
