User talk:Alia Tomoda

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Alia Tomoda, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * The five pillars of 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!  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  05:06, 31 October 2017 (UTC)


 * If you have a close relationship with Isao Tomoda, that would count as a form of conflict of interest that would need to be disclosed on your user page or on the talk page of the article you are creating. One other problem is that you've started your draft on your userpage, which is not the correct place. Better would be a sandbox or userspace draft. Let me know if you need help moving it. Also, because your draft counts as a biography of a living person, it must meet certain requirements for references to be allowed to stay. The "Your first article" page linked above would be a good place to start.  &mdash; jmcgnh  (talk) (contribs)  05:12, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
