Hello, StanBoeve. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Electrode, 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 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. Graham 87 07:48, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm especially concerned that you may have a conflict of interest regarding weldingheadquarters.com . Graham 87 07:48, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Please don't put back any of the text you added; pretty much *all* the sources are low-quality. See the reliable sources guideline, but if you do not have at least a professional or university-graduate-level knowledge of electronics, you should not be trying to add content to this space. What has actually led you to make the edits you're making? If you don't answer and keep trying to put text back, you may be blocked. Graham 87 10:37, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello Graham, I have a university level knowledge of electronics. The information in the sources is checked and is correct, I am making edits because I am currently doing an assignment which requires me to contribute to wikipedia on the topic of surface science and electronics. The one source I used was indeed commercial as I see now, the other sources seem fine, among others they are scientific articles.StanBoeve (talk) 11:03, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Stan, thanks for getting back to me. Yeah most of the others seem OK to good, but one is very old. physics-and-radio-electronics.com is just someone's personal website and I've removed it for that reason. You can just type in a DOI and Wikipedia's software will do the rest; see Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/2. Graham 87 12:02, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for the help, I will take this into account when making further edits.
