User talk:Leibniz-Institut für Europäische Geschichte

March 2021
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Leibniz-Institut für Europäische Geschichte", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies that the account belongs to an organisation and not an individual person. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. ''Please consider changing the name of this account. If multiple people have been using it then please register a separate individual account for each person who wishes to edit Wikipedia.''

Hello, Leibniz-Institut für Europäische Geschichte. 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. - Arjayay (talk) 14:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello Arjayay and DanielRigal,
 * we started to use this account again after some time, so we didn't have the disclosure information on our user page. You can find it now, still here is the text:
 * Full disclosure
 * We work for Europäische Geschichte Online (European History Online). EGO publishes open acess, peer-reviewed scientific articles about historical topics of the modern age. We think that they can be an enrichment to the literature part of fitting wikipedia articles. EGO is published by the Institute for European History of the University of Mainz. It does not have ads and is completely uncommercial. We believe that the articles are better suited for the category "literature", than "weblinks". If you believe that the linked article does not belong to the wikipedia-article, feel free to remove it.
 * We hope this does not fall under "Promotional Use" since we don't have any commercial interest in people reading the articles on our website. Leibniz-Institut für Europäische Geschichte (talk) 15:10, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Adding links
I noticed the link that you added to English Dissenters and have moved it]. Please do not add links to a References section for sources that were not used as references in developing the article. They can be added to External links or Further reading sections, if appropriate. Schazjmd  (talk)  15:48, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself.
