User talk:Maple88888

Welcome!
Hello, Maple88888, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Swiss Management Center, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * 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. 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! Grayfell (talk) 04:19, 17 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Grayfell,
 * I do not work for SMC as you suggest and I don't particularly care! I have noted a lot of false statements on this page and other similar schools. You have now added a citation from a German website in German, which does not back up the point you are referencing. Perhaps it is you who works for a competitor? I am throwing the towel in on this and I am not looking for an argument, but merely pointing out my observations. I am disappointed that you don't appear to properly research what you edit and Wikipedia seems to not have the same high standards it once did. Maple88888 (talk) 04:58, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The Anabin website doesn't allow for direct linking to entries in its database (as far as I can tell). If you wish to verify this, you will have to enter the school into the search fields to find its listing, and it helps to enter the country and city, as it's not a very good search engine. It does not, however, have to be convenient in order to be a reliable source. From that, Anabin's website does support the attached claim. Whether or not this info is due weight is a separate issue, but the article's talk page would be the place to discuss this further, if you wish.
 * Accusing me of having a conflict of interest is so silly it's hard to find it insulting, but to be very clear, I have no conflict of interest with this school.
 * Being paid by SMC would be a conflict of interest, but it is not the only kind of conflict of interest. If you are associated with the school in any way, I encourage you to carefully review the above policies and guidelines. I say this because your account has only ever edited this article in the past year and a half, and that article has a history of promotional editing. Grayfell (talk) 06:36, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
