User talk:Bluedogdeath

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was April Halprin Wayland, 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.

I base this at least in part because your user page (User:Bluedogdeath) makes it appear that you are in fact this author. This could, of course, be because you were using your userpage as a sandbox, I notice also that every single one of your 11 edits on WP have been related to this author. In fact, you have provided almost all of the content to the article April Halprin Wayland, including Includng creating the article in April 2009, two edits in April 2011, and three in December 2015. Several other editors have provided formatting, but almost no content (including 14 edits by 11 editors from 4/2009 to 2/2011, and 11 edits by 7 editors from 9/2011 to 10/2015_. Furthermore, the content you have provided has been almost completely without any reliable sources.

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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
