Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your userpage.Disambiguation link notification for December 5
editHi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited AEX index, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Altice. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I note the revision you made at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elsevier&action=history - Please note that the link for the citation I quoted is live and not dead (others have validated this). As such, the edit I made should be re-instated. Thanks.
Are you being paid?
editHi could you please clarify whether you are acting here as an official representative of Elsevier, or whether you are just doing this in your own time? WP:PAID and WP:COI have different disclosure requirements. Thanks SmartSE (talk) 15:25, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm a paid employee of RELX Group (Elsevier's parent company). I keep an eye on these Wikipedia pages as part of my job (because I happened to already have an account), though I'm not specifically paid to make updates, but I guess that still means WP:PAID? I'm careful to remain neutral, so the only changes I make myself are factual data points like updating annual financial figures and board member names. Anything else, I suggest on the talk pages and wait for someone else to pick them up, which I think still follows the Wikipedia guidance? If I should be disclosing this anywhere else then please let me know. Thanks Ryoba (talk) 08:37, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for clarifying. I wasn't suggesting that you'd done anything wrong, but you should make it clearer on your talk page that managing articles here is part of your job, rather than you just being interested in it because you work for RELX. SmartSE (talk) 16:55, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
- Anything that is "part of my job" certainly comes under the description of a paid editor. You should definitely put the Conflict of interest template on the talk page of Elsevier to disclose your conflict of interest. However it is best practice at wikipedia to not edit articles where one has a conflict of interest so it's probably best to leave the Elsevier and related articles alone.

- No problem. I'd already disclosed this in various other places and have discussed it quite a bit with various editors on talk pages, but didn't know it should be there too. I try to have as little to do with editing the Elsevier page as I can, and normally stick to suggesting changes rather than making them myself as I'm well aware of the potential for WP:COI (or an appearance of it at least) Ryoba (talk) 16:36, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
