Welcome[edit]

Hello, GilHecht, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! MuffledThud (talk) 15:34, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help - Conflict of interest resolution[edit]

I would greatly appreciate your help with editing/posting my two first drafts. First one related to RecoverGuard(tm) - a product by Continuity Software. The product is well accepted in the market. Sold under OEM agreement with some of the largest software companies in the world. (and published in Wikipedia under those brands as well) Second is about Continuity Software, the software vendor behind it.


Thanks! Gil GilHecht (talk) 16:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gil, and thanks for your note. It's almost never a good idea to write a Wikipedia article about something you're so directly involved in, as it's almost impossible for an editor to be objective when they're doing that: see WP:COI. I recommend that you wait for someone else to write an article about your company and products. If you want any help editing an article on any other topic, please don't hesitate to ask.
