Welcome!
Hello, CelerityInformation, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Celerity IT‎, 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.&#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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * 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

 * Ok, I went ahead and tried to change my username so I can update the clearly outdated information. If the username change gets updated, does that mean I'll be able to correct the misinformation? CelerityInformation (talk) 02:39, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Changing your username does not remove the conflict of interest. —C.Fred (talk) 11:04, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

How then can I change information that is incorrect? Are you basically telling me that's not going to be able to happen? AlexVirden92689 (talk) 11:49, 14 August 2018 (UTC)AlexVirden92689


 * I think you're alright editing, if you've read the policy at Paid-contribution disclosure. It doesn't mean you can't edit articles in which you have a vested interest. It means the edits might come under closer scrutiny than otherwise. It's just important for the Wikipedia community to know when an editor isn't completely neutral or unbiased. My two cents.

Hello, C.Fred, I am trying to update some old information for Celerity. The page has the wrong logo, wrong CEO, and wrong services. I do believe my edits are from a Neutral point of view. CelerityInformation (talk) 01:06, 14 August 2018 (UTC)CelerityInformation


 * Your username suggests that you are editing on behalf of Celerity. Even if your edits maintain the neutral point-of-view on the page, you still have a conflict of interest by definition. —C.Fred (talk) 01:36, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
