User talk:Perwendel

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Spark (software), 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! Nat Gertler (talk) 19:48, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Nat Gertler!

Since Spark is inspired by Sinatra I used the Sinatra article as template when creating the one on Spark. I've removed some parts that were of potential bias.

Is there more to fix on the page?


 * Thank you for taking the time and recognizing some of the problem areas. I've made some further minor fixes to eliminate statements with a point of view. For the future, in general, you should avoid creating or editing articles about your own projects; there are other ways to have your concerns addressed. See our guidelines on handling conflicts of interest. (And as a quick note: when adding messages to talk pages like this, type four tildes at the end; that will be automatically replaced with a signature and time stamp, which will make life easier on anyone who wants to try to read through the comments.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:17, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
