User talk:Anna at VillageReach

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was VillageReach, 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 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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Julietdeltalima  (talk)  18:24, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your messages! I'm aware of Wikipedia's guidelines on COI but as a Wikipedia newbie, I wasn't sure what the best approach is for getting edits made to the pages I have COI with - particularly since there does not appear to be any engaged editors on the page in question. I have previously looked for guidelines, but I will review our help page on userspace drafts as you suggested. I would greatly appreciate if you could review the changes I have already made and edit any content that may be questionable in terms of neutrality! I'm mostly interested in getting more current information on the page! Thanks again. Anna at VillageReach (talk) 18:44, 23 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Anna, at the very least, attempt to open a dialogue at Talk:VillageReach. If no one responds, then you are right: no one else is engaged on that page and you are unlikely to find the help you need, so you should go ahead and make the changes yourself. But you should show evidence of having tried to seek help. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:59, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

With this series of edits, I think you've gone somewhat beyond "small, uncontroversial edits." You might want to consider following your own advice and discussing any further changes at Talk:VillageReach. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:40, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:VillageReach, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

Thank you. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 02:51, 25 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Just a reminder to sign your talk page posts, it makes it confusing on who's talking if you don't. --Cameron11598 (Talk) 02:52, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
