User talk:Stefan van den eijkel

Welcome!
Hello, Stefan van den eijkel, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Stefan van den eijkel/Wiegers Prioritization, 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:

 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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! Drmies (talk) 16:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Please explain your relationship with the subject and with User talk:JFKemper. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 16:21, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Since I left this message you made more non-neutral, unverified, promotional edits to the draft, and you have not answered the question about the COI or about the other editor. Please do so quickly. Drmies (talk) 00:38, 13 January 2023 (UTC)


 * The Wikipedia page we are working on is based on research and includes all the citations. It is still a draft and not fully finished. We are working on this topic due to an assignment for the requirements engineering university course from the University of Utrecht. The assignment is about forming pairs, choosing a topic of interest in the RE field, and either extending an existing page or making a new one. In our case it did not exist yet, so we are making a new one.
 * The user "jfkemper" is my teammate. I find it worrisome that you accuse us of being biassed, as we do not have a relationship with Wieger's and are just expanding the knowledge on his method that was first published in 1999. Stefan van den eijkel (talk) 08:50, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * And If I may add, it is not a very good first experience on Wikipedia that I am being accused or suspected of things in my own sandbox. Stefan van den eijkel (talk) 08:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Drmies: the two users are working together at a project supervised by me (Dr. Fabiano Dalpiaz, Utrecht University, https://www.uu.nl/staff/FDalpiaz) regarding the creation of solid, well founded Wikipedia pages for topics in the field of requirements engineering. We are very well aware of the Wikipedia policies and this is why the students are working on a sandbox. We are also going to have a peer review round where the students' draft articles are evaluated according to the Wikipedia pillars. And we will then decide which articles can be pushed to Wikipedia based on their overall quality and compliance with the standards. This is why we are employing a Wikimedia project to support this activity https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Utrecht_University/REpedia . Let us know if this is still unclear, and thanks for your active monitoring! Fabianoda (talk) 09:52, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Fabianoda, thanks for the note: I appreciate the clarification. Stefan, you'll pardon me for having my curiosity piqued watching two new editors work on an article and write things that seem promotional, in part because of the particular sourcing and content. As a longtime editor I see promotional biographies on all kinds of people all the time, including on academics, and the Karl Wiegers article certainly looked like one of those. This is an early version of the article, and there's no secondary sourcing whatsoever and a plethora of resume-style fluff; the version when I saw it was even worse and added his guitar playing hobby and spam links for some of the books. And I'll admit I was a bit miffed when I left you two a note, and more edits were made after that but my questions weren't addressed. So I'm glad you answered them now.As a side note, Fabianoda, it is always a good idea to have your students identify themselves as participants in an educational project on their user page. The project has templates for that as well, which also link to your specific project. I have run a number of such courses myself, under a different name (privacy...), but I'm also on the other side, as an administrator, and such identification can save a LOT of trouble later on in article space and on the noticeboards. So, when I see edits made by multiple editors, I look for their user pages and talk pages to see if there are education-related posts (I'll put one below), links to educational projects, posts on instructors' talk pages, etc. And if you put a link to your REpedia on your user page, that would help all of us out. User:Ian (Wiki Ed) knows exactly what templates etc. you might use for this. Het allerbeste met je project, en laat het me weten als ik ergens mee kan helpen.

 * Thank you very much for your response, @Drmies, also appreciated! I understand the important role you and others are playing. I will also take a look at the resources you've provided, there is a LOT of information about Wikipedia and also related to educational initiatives, and it's sometimes hard to find the most up-to-date info. So, thank you very much for helping out. Fabianoda (talk) 16:59, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, Stefan van den eijkel and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Drmies (talk) 16:29, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
