Welcome![edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Daniel Landin, 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 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:

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!   — Jeff G. ツ 02:59, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help me[edit]

Hello Jeff, Can you tell me the best way to rectify this please? Thanks Daniel Lumenshine (talk) 11:44, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jeff, I tried to update some details on the page that is about me, but can see that this is considered a conflict of interest. I did not understand that. I am happy for you to remove these updates, if they contravene the wikipedia terms, although I don't think they were contentious, just acurracy corrections I think. The warning on the page currently makes it look dubious, and I don't want to appear fraudulent. Can you help me to either fact check it, or remove the March 2020 updates?

I now understand the terms I think.

Thanks Daniel — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lumenshine (talk • contribs) 11:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for being aware of the issue of conflict-of-interest editing.
One normal way in which you can request changes to the page about you is to go to Talk:Daniel Landin, click on 'New section' and describe the changes you want made and provide the references that support those changes. An experienced editor will see if the changes can be made within Wikipedia's policies. Be sure to include the template code {{edit request}} at the top of your new section so that the request can gain the attention of editors.
It's a bit much to expect the subjects of Wikipedia articles to master the art of Wikipedia editing even to that extent, so another route is provided in the FAQ for article subjects. It involves sending an email to info-en-q@wikimedia.org outlining the changes needed.
Hope this proves helpful. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 03:57, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
