Welcome![edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, which 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 undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. 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.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

December 2014[edit]

I noticed that you have posted comments in a language other than English. When on the English-language Wikipedia, please always use English, no matter to whom you address your comments. This is so that comments may be comprehensible to the community at large. If the use of another language is unavoidable, please provide a translation of the comments. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 15:21, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Da Google Translate: Ho notato che hai postato commenti in una lingua diversa dall'inglese. Quando sulla lingua inglese di Wikipedia, si prega di utilizzare sempre l'inglese, non importa a quale affrontare i vostri commenti. Questo è così che i commenti possono essere comprensibili per la comunità in generale. Se l'uso di un'altra lingua è inevitabile, si prega di fornire una traduzione dei commenti. Per maggiori dettagli, vedi Wikipedia: Parla linee guida della pagina. Grazie. --Drm310 (talk) 15:23, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:23, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Accademia. 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 Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, 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.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
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. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:24, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

December 2014[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

@ Drmies {{unblock-un|newcavallucci |reason= I do not know why I was stuck. I do not represent any organization, nor do I promote anything. I am a historian who has studied in depth and would like to contribute by correcting errors within this wonderful world of wikipedia. The name Academy is a common name that does not promote anyone, is not a registered trademark nor refer to a specific reality. If the problem was that you can change it in newcavallucciAccademia (talk) 11:35, 2 December 2014 (UTC)}[reply]

I'm sorry, Accademia, but if as you say you do not represent or promote any organisation, why exactly did you write "Accademia delle Arti del Disegno - Ufficiale" (i.e., "Accademia delle Arti del Disegno - Official") on your user page? I probably don't need to point out that most of your mainspace edits have been to our article on the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno. Please read with great care our policy on neutral point of view and our guidelines on conflict-of-interest editing. If you receive any remuneration or reward from the accademia you should also pay particular attention to the third paragraph there, beginning "Paid advocacy ...". As it says at the end of that paragraph, Wikimedia's Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation".
