User talk:Aquindlen

Welcome!

Hello, Aquindlen, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Anna Quindlen, 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. 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 any other 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.

The one firm 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! David1217 (talk) 14:22, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Welcome, again. I happened to see your note to David - everything on Wikipedia is open, and there is an honourable tradition of "talk page stalkers" picking up and acting on other peoples' requests. I have made the change you asked for. You can understand why we are touchy about people editing their own articles, but small factual corrections should not be a problem. If you should ever have any more serious problem with your article, there is advice for article subjects at WP:BLP/H, and a "noticeboard" where you can request assistance at WP:BLP/N. Other ways to ask for help are explained in the notice above. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:17, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
