Hello, Rnstlr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you 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 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 another 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.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style

Hello CNMall41, Hi and thanks for reaching out. Is this about the /info/en/?search=Draft:LibrePCB page? Can you explain further how and which policy I violated? Rnstlr ( talk) 12:44, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- @ Stuartyeates: is the editor who declined the draft so I will leave your help request open so they can opine. I did take a quick look and it appears that the sources appear to violate WP:INDY. -- CNMall41 ( talk) 22:46, 26 May 2023 (UTC)

Draft:LibrePCB I left the message Wikipedia articles need independent secondary sources, which appear to be lacking here. which sums up the underlying issue as I see it. Basically the sources seem to be connected to the LibrePCB project. What we need are sources which are not connect and have coverage of LibrePCB which is in depth. Without this kind of coverage the project can't have a wikipedia article.

- Alright, so this isn't directly related to my edits, but the general state of the article. Are the following good sources that could be used to improve the article?
- * http://web.archive.org/web/20191208222622/https://www.sourcesort.com/interview/urban-bruhin-librepcb (sourcesort doesn't seem to exist anymore)
- * https://hackaday.com/2020/01/22/review-testdriving-librepcb-shows-that-its-growing-up-fast/ (already
- * https://archive.fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/cad_librepcb/, https://archive.fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/librepcb/ and https://archive.fosdem.org/2022/schedule/event/librepcb/ (several talks the author gave about the project)
- * https://nlnet.nl/project/LibrePCB/ (brief info about the project and why it qualifies for the funding)
- * https://repology.org/project/librepcb/versions (for which Linux distros LibrePCB packages are maintained)
