A lengthy welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. I've added a welcome message to the top of this page that gives a great deal of information about Wikipedia. I hope you find it useful.

Additionally, I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter. Regardless, editing in a manner that promotes an entity or viewpoint over others can appear to be detrimental to the purpose of Wikipedia and the neutrality required in articles.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

If you work from reliable, independent sources, you shouldn't go far wrong. WP:RSP and WP:RSN are helpful in determining if a source is reliable.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 19:02, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hipal. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Cara Mund, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 17:53, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Pjkd5968788, Wikipedia has very strict policies for editing biographical information, as I've already explained to you above. Independent sources are generally preferred. Press releases and publicity pieces tend to be problematic, and rarely fit BLP's requirement for high-quality sources. At this point, please work with other editors through discussion. BLP requires consensus to be established before disputed content is restored. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 18:07, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Please respond. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 18:20, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

I've started a discussion at Talk:Cara Mund. Please consider commenting there as well. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 19:38, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:01, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Courtesy notice
Your editing is being discussed at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Please respond. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:17, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for responding
Hi Pjkd5968788. Thank you for responding. I highly recommend you read everything here on your talk page, and make a comment at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring.

Thank you for joining the talk page discussion. We need to find agreement on what should be included in the article. I've already asked for the other editors who have been involved to comment, and we can get others to join if needed. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 22:46, 6 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Can you provide context as to why you deleted my past edit? How should it be amended? I have been doing extensive research, added additional sources, and background information. I am just trying to get updated information listed. Pjkd5968788 (talk) 22:53, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Do you understand the context I've already provided?
 * Working on articles like this is not a good idea for new editors because of the strict policy adherence that is required.
 * The sources you have provided are poor. See WP:BLPRS.
 * Few or none of the sources you have provided are independent.
 * Editors are required to work together on article talk pages to create consensus.
 * Does this make sense? --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 23:02, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Based on my last edit, which sources were not independent?Pjkd5968788 (talk) 23:08, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but you need to revert your edit. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 00:19, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Which part of the edit needs to be reverted? I have added additional citations, sources, background information, and context based on my research. Pjkd5968788 (talk) 01:31, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I broke down the edit into smaller pieces, identifying problems in each with an edit summary. I hope that helps. --Hipal/Ronz (talk) 16:16, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Pjkd5968788. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Cara Mund, 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, clients, 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 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. Toddst1 (talk) 06:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
