User talk:APetersNYC

Welcome!
Hello, BradBealmear, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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

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! shoy (reactions) 17:41, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Username change, new article
Thank you for reviewing my first article and moving it to draft. I have changed my user name from BradBealmear to APetersNYC to avoid conflict. At this point I would appreciate having the draft article reviewed and receiving any changes or comments. APetersNYC (talk) 15:02, 12 June 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello . Please note that conflict of interest is not a matter of your username (though we do have policy and guidelines on using real names). If you don't have any relationship with what the article is about — outside of deciding to write the article — then even with your old username, you will not have a conflict of interest (though in that case the new username will be prudent to avoid confusion). On the other hand, if you do have an external relationship, whether it's writing about something you're a fan of, yourself, or something you are financially connected to, changing your username does not remove that, and it will be best to be as transparent as possible about it.


 * I've added a box that should have a blue button that says "Submit your draft for review!" in the lower right. This will put the draft into the review queue, though note that there are currently 4 171 drafts waiting, so the review might take anything from a few hours to a couple of months (though many reviews are completed in about a day or two, not at either extreme). Please, before you submit, take a few minutes to look at our guide for new article creators, Your first article. This has several very good tips, as well as summarizing the key requirements we need in an article for it to be published. If you follow it closely, it will likely save a lot of time — many articles are rejected the first few times because they do not meet the basic criteria.


 * A key criterion is Notability (quickstart summary) which means something different to what it is in every day use (it mainly refers to significant coverage in reliable sources on Wikipedia). The specific guidelines for biographies can be found here. Original research, i.e. writing something that isn't covered in a reliable source is also not allowed — and controversial claims must be directly supported by a citation directly after it. Pages about living people must be especially strict in following the policies. If you have an external relationship, it is also a good idea to read the Conflict of interest policy and the associated contributor's guide. Alpha3031 (t • c) 16:20, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
