Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, Knorr-Bremse AG Munich. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Knorr-Bremse, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 09:10, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Knorr-Bremse AG Munich", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:10, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

- @Knorr-Bremse AG Munich: Unlike German Wikipedia, English Wikipedia does not allow accounts to represent a business. Accounts are for individuals only, and the account name must reflect individual use. You can request to be unblocked and propose a new account name using the instructions above. However, please note that your account name will change across all language-versions of Wikipedia.
- You must also review and comply with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. This requires a clear and visible declaration of which articles you are editing for payment, and who is paying you. Writing about your employer triggers this policy even if you are not being paid specifically to edit Wikipedia.
- Also, when you add new content to talk pages, please post your comments at the bottom of the page. This is necessary to keep the discussion in the correct chronological order. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:25, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
