User talk:AUtbone

Welcome!
Hello, AUtbone, 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:

 * 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! VViking Talk Edits 21:56, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Minimum of 2 issues with this edit summary "My task is to research and provide information relative to the history of the Auburn University Marchcing band. My edits are valid and will continue." Great you can research and provide information relative to the history of Auburn University Marchcing band, however you cannot utilize Wikipedia as a Webhost your schools or if your school doesn't think it is important enough your band can put the information on their website. Your second issue is "My edits are valid and will continue" reeks of ownership of the article which is not what this project is about. Please follow BRD and Reliable Source.

 * Okay. I understand more now. Yes, I am guilty of jumping right in and making edits without fully reviewing the practices. And yes, I am not neutral in regards to the Auburn University marching Band, but I am interested in maintaining the information properly. It seems that I simply need to host the information I am trying to provide on the band's official website. I do want to be sure that missing information is added to the wikipedia page, but I will do that in a method that meets requirements. Thank you for the insight. I was frustrated at having my efforts so swiftly deleted. I'll do better. AUtbone (talk) 22:57, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
