User talk:Xapi80

Welcome!
Hello, Xapi80, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Stream processing, 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.

 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide

Hi ~Kvng

I understand the rules, but the project in question is a non commercial and open source software that I'm not getting paid for and I quite simply think it may be useful. It was not my intention to break the contribution rules and I'm definitely deeply sorry if I had. I'm not by any means getting paid and furthermore I did mention in my edit summary that I'm the author of the framework.

I honestly think the framework I created is a stream processing framework useful for node.js developers and since I'm doing this after hours I do think it's as good as some other mentioned open source projects there.

 * No problem, everybody accidentally breaks some norms here when they're starting out. We try not to be a link repository, we try to mainly link to informative articles. The current list in Stream processing contains way too many external links and should probably be trimmed. When you have a conflict of interest it is recommended to make a request on the article's talk page with request edit (and then it's best to cite reliable secondary sources independent of the subject). But it's usually best to just work on improving the encyclopedic text here instead of linking :) – Þjarkur (talk) 18:20, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, you haven't offended anyone. Just be aware that financial conflict of interest is not the only type of conflict of interest. The time you have invested in Scramjet likely prevents you from being objective when assessing its relevance to the Stream processing article. I'm not in a position to assess that either. If you start a discussion on the article's talk page, other editors may be able to help assess. ~Kvng (talk) 19:39, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * ~Kvng Understood. I'll try that and also suggest removal of some outdated (not working) links.


 * See WP:LINKROT. We generally don't remove links just because they're not working. But, yes, the External links sections of articles does tend to accumulate a lot of cruft that needs to be cleaned out occasionally. ~Kvng (talk) 12:53, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
