User talk:Jgeisler0303

Welcome!
Hello, Jgeisler0303, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was De Bruijn sequence, 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 any other 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 firm 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: 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! Katieh5584 (talk) 20:46, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

RE: Possible COI
Katieh5584, I just tried to reply to you on your talk page but it is semi-protected. So, I will try to answer here.

I guess you wrote me because the automatic filter flagged my edit to pose possible COI. Indeed I had my doubts and already read some of the material you suggested. Eventually I followed the Be Bold advise.

My conceivable COI lays in that I added an External link to an interactive demonstration of the page's subject that I created myself. My intention was not to promote my work but to share the additional insight that can be gained from this demo. Indeed, I started to research this subject via Wikipedia but I could not find anything like this. So I created it. I see this as a way to give back to Wikipedia.

Please note that there were already two other external links to similar demos but they both did not feature the special feature of decoding.

I will not be hurt if my edit gets reverted. But I would like take this opportunity get some feedback from the experts. Jgeisler0303 (talk) 21:48, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
