Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;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.&#32;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.

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 Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Adakiko (talk) 20:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Adakiko. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person, Tina Brower-Thomas, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 12:11, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did with this edit to Tina Brower-Thomas. Thank you. Adakiko (talk) 12:17, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Tina Brower-Thomas. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. To cite a wp:reliable source, please see wp:citing sources. Adakiko (talk) 20:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't see a problem with the content, just the lack of citations. I recommend asking at the wp:Teahouse for assistance. Adakiko (talk) 20:16, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a wp:verifiability policy. This is especially critical for wp:biographies of living persons.
 * Award - there is no mention of an award on the citation. It just links to Brower-Thomas's theis. The Women in Stem awards don't have their past winners (why not?). There are news articles that do mention it.
 * Academic advisor - unsourced.
 * unsourced.
 * unsourced.
 * Re LinkedIn as a source, please see wp:LINKEDIN
