Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, RichardLIYSF, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Quinto Simmaco! You might think that Wikipedia is near completion and doesn't need your help, but that's not true! Wikipedia may seem to be running smoothly on the surface, but we still have many backlogs and problems that need attention, and I would like to thank you so much for helping out. Here are some pages to guide you!

Wikipedia requires editors who can perform different roles - what would you like to do?

 Y Would you like to help to correct the spelling and grammar of some pages? Here's a list of articles you can copyedit! Here's a guide of how to do that.
 Y Would you like to update and increase the accuracy of some of our pages? Here's a list of outdated articles! Remember to cite your sources (This is a helpful guide to get you started).
 Y Would you like to help make Wikipedia better by fighting vandalism? You can and it's very appreciated! Here's a quick and simple guide.
 Y Are you a writer or an expert in a field and would like to lengthen a few of our existing articles? Click here for a list of short articles you can expand, sorted by topic.
 Y Would like to improve one of our articles in a specific topic and interest? Choose a WikiProject to join here!
   Are you a company owner, employee, person or writer paid to correct information on you/your client's page or company? Please refer to WP:PAIDHELP for guidance on paid editing. Please also see our guidelines on autobiographies, notability and conflict of interest.
 N Are you a company owner, employee, person or writer paid to promote or advertise on pages about you/your client's page or company? Please note that we are not a means of self-promotion. See our guidelines on autobiographies, notability and conflict of interest.

I still need more help!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page London International Youth Science Forum has been reverted.
Your edit here to London International Youth Science Forum was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/Liysf/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 09:21, 19 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

COI

edit

  Hello, RichardLIYSF. 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 conflict of interest 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Bueller 007 (talk) 02:41, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
