User talk:Aswheeler17

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Swire Group, 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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Hi,

Swire Oilfield Services has changed significantly and the content that was there was inaccurate so I thought it best to change. I only wanted to use the website as a reference but added it in incorrectly I think.

I apologies if this is not allow? I just wanted to ensure the most accurate information was available. If you would like me to resubmit with a revision please let me know.

 * Hello there, thank you very much for your reply. There are three (and a half) main issues that I would like to discuss with you.
 * Your username. It's now very clear to me, that your username stands for the company (I didn't know what 'os' meant until you mentioned your full company name). Having a name which represents a company (or any shared group etc.) is prohibited, and, if I didn't find out through you enquiring about this, you would probably end up getting blocked; you must choose a name which represents you as a individual -- see WP:UNAME. Because of this, I recommend that you stop editing until your username is changed. To change your name, click here. Here you can enter a new username. Best to reference this talk page so the renamer has some sort of context as to why you need to be renamed.


 * Sources for your edits. While it may seem a bit patronising, because you should know your company better than an outsider, everything on Wikipedia needs to have published and reliable sources. If it doesn't, then anyone has the right to remove it (or add a citation, which is much more helpful). If there isn't a source for it, we won't include it. See WP:REFB also for help in adding citations; I note you did add a source, but the content should specifically reflect what that source says (a generic link to the company's page is not helpful).


 * Your conflict of interest. This has been explained above by the welcome-coi template that I posted on your page. In effect, editors with a conflict of interest must declare this. You can put this on your user page, and it will also be put on the talk via template at the top of the page (sorry, I don't know the name of the template, I can do this part anyway). You are also discouraged from editing any pages that may have a conflict of interest with directly. Instead, use the article's talk page to suggest edits to the page, and other editors can add them.


 * The 'half' bit -- WP:PAID editing. You must declare if you are being paid for your edits, see the former link and WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE.
