Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Kevinoliver1992. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 23:07, 8 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello Smartse, Thank you for your message. Regarding the deletion of the page I created and the COI, I want to tell you that I did not get any compensation from the firm I created the page about. At the moment I'm studying mechanical engingeering at the Technical University of Munich. In a lexture I visit with a fellow student we're learning about MBD and CAE software, for example Recurdyn developed by Functionbay. I also wrote a thesis using the software. So we thought it would be nice if there is a wikipedia page about the software and also the company, because during our research we found that there are many wikipedia pages about different MBD and CAE software programms (i.e. ANSYS, MSC ADAMS,...), but not about this software. So we thought why not create an article, so that on the one side there is more information for the students learning about it in the next term's lecture and also so that there is a wikipedia page on a topic I wrote a thesis about. So if anyone wants to know what it is and what I wrote about, he just can look it up on wikipedia! Best Regards, Kevin
