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 in collaboration.

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.

If you find yourself in a disagreement with another editor, it's best to discuss the matter on the relevant talk page.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Hipal (talk) 15:44, 10 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Valeria,

I noticed that you identified your account as work-related ("at SG", presumably standing for "at Singularity Group").

Because of that, and for the sake of clarity, I recommend that you do not use this account for non-work-related edits and posts.

I was wondering — do you edit Wikipedia with another account for non-work-related posts, or would you like to?

If so, please read Wikipedia:Username policy#Using multiple accounts.

If/when you reply to this message, please {{ping}} me. Thank you.

(pinging @Hipal:)

I noticed that yours is a relatively new account, and haven't spotted any other accounts that have edited on behalf of SG in the past.

I'm interested in learning what the threshold is, leading companies to get involved with modifying Wikipedia content.

So, if you don't mind my asking...

What led up to SG having you edit Wikipedia on its behalf?

More specifically, how did SG, or you on SG's behalf, become interested in editing Wikipedia?

Just curious,    — The Transhumanist   06:39, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
