User talk:BenBeckstromBYU

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Brigham Young University, 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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * 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! Kleuske (talk) 17:23, 14 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Kleuske Thanks for reaching out! I don't believe I've done any edits with this account yet, but I'll be careful to avoid the conflicts of interest you have outlined. I'm finishing up some training, but just wanted to say thanks for welcoming me to the community!BenBeckstromBYU (talk) 18:22, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You have failed completely to avid the conflicts of interest outlined above. Please actually review WP:COI this time, it does not appear that you are aware that you are strongly discouraged from editing the articles of pages with which you have a COI (anything related to the LDS Church).

Disambiguation link notification for June 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The High King, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Black Cauldron.
