Question from MawaSagar (09:42, 30 September 2024)

Can I make changes on the following page- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su-Kam_Power_Systems --MawaSagar (talk) 09:42, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @MawaSagar do have a relationship with that company? As long as you do not have a conflict of interest, and you have reliable sources which support the changes, then it is ok to make changes. What kind of changes did you have in mind? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 10:11, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from KitotekNVE (04:29, 12 August 2024)

My old account where I was a certified “experienced editor” / “mentor” got deleted, is there any way I can get that status back? --KitotekNVE (talk) 04:29, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @KitotekNVE - as far as I know, old accounts cannot be deleted (see WP:UNC). Do you mean you have lost access to your old account? What was the username? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 04:32, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi, sorry for being so late to reply, my old account was Kitotek, I checked and Wikipedia says "'Kitotek' is not registered on this wiki. Please check CentralAuth to see if the account is registered on other wikis."
I also checked CentralAuth and it also says "There is no global account for "Kitotek"."
I know that the account existed because I have a screenshot of signing in with it (how I store passwords)
Thanks for helping, KitotekNVE (talk) 11:53, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi @KitotekNVE do you remember a page you edited under your old account and when? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 12:25, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
I can't really remember any specific articles with 100% certainty, but I seem to remember that there was one week back in 2022 where I did a bunch of minor fix edits on articles about some little known technologies as I was doing some personal research (I was watching a lot of the YouTuber Technology Connections at the time) Mostly just adding links between articles and making a few grammatical changes where they were obviously needed. I spent some time looking and I couldn't find any of them.
It's been a long time since I was actively making edits and I have sort of lost interest, now focusing more on my senior year of high school and trying to find a job. I'm not too fussed about the old account anymore, but it would be cool to possibly find some of the stuff I contributed to, I have a pretty poor memory so actually finding them isn't trivial.
.
Thanks for your help, have a nice day :) KitotekNVE (talk) 12:40, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Inawnuhmuhss on User:Inawnuhmuhss/sandbox (04:31, 21 October 2024)

Hi, I had my article declined for I believe citation purposes. Is there some way I can know exactly where I errored so I know specifically what needs to be corrected? I could use the feedback --Inawnuhmuhss (talk) 04:31, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Inawnuhmuhss - the problem with the draft is that is does not cite indpendent, secondary sourcing, that is, reliable sources. Only with reliable sourcing can articles appear on Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I had a quick look for sourcing on the subject, but nothing obvious appears. It might well be this person is not notable. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 00:33, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Kitgaroutte (19:59, 30 October 2024)

Hello. It's nice to meet you too.

I wonder if it was ok to create a link to an external website when I added the album '9 Treasures' to John Stowell's Discography. The link goes to my website 'kitgaroutte.com' as a way of letting anyone interested know who I am. Does this violate the guideline about links to commercial interest. It was not my intention to commercialize anything, but since I have no Wikipedia page myself yet... which leads me to ask about creating my own page. That's discouraged I'm thinking? Thank you for any clarification you can provide. I will remove the link if that is best. --Kitgaroutte (talk) 19:59, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Kitgaroutte - welcome and thanks for leaving a message. I've left a set of links on your talk page which might be helpful. Your instinct about how to edit in circumstances like this is correct, because you have a relationship with the subject you are editing, this comes under Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest. In general, editors should not undertake work on articles where they have a conflict of interest. I'd encourage you to remove the link and leave a message on the talk page of the article asking for the edit to be made. This link describes the process of making an edit request: Wikipedia:Edit requests (note the part dealing with conflict of interest requests). I'm happy to help further, let me know if you have more questions. Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 20:24, 30 October 2024 (UTC)
