User talk:Ato Malinda

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Ato Malinda, 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 of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide

 * 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! czar 16:45, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

The artist?
Hi! I have a few questions for you: Welcome to Wikipedia and hope this helps! czar 16:51, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
 * 1) Are you the artist Ato Malinda? If so, I've shared some information above about contributing to Wikipedia while maintaining a conflict of interest.
 * 2) Have you also been editing as, , and ? If so, we ask that you note the connection on those users' talk pages and only use one account from now on.
 * 3) If you are the artist and those are your edits, I understand the difficulty around sourcing your name. Since only cite sources with editorial backing (or self-published by the author), it would be helpful if you published the information you're trying to add on your official blog or CV so that we can definitively cite it here.
