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

I noticed that one of the first pages you edited 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 page.

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
 * 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
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

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.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE  and on IRC chatAgain, welcome! -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 19:31, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Reliable sources
I saw your unblock request and wanted to suggest asking about La Voce di New York at the Reliable sources noticeboard. Whether a given source is reliable involves multiple criteria... after all, anyone can create a website and hire people to write for it. And I think asking for community opinion on English Wikipedia would show good faith and also enlighten you, since each Wikipedia site in a specific language has different rules and levels of enforcement. Just because Italian Wikipedia accepts something doesn't mean that English Wikipedia will accept it. Matuko (talk) 22:44, 23 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestion. I tried to post there, but it seems that it is not possible while I am blocked. Wish I had known about this beforehand, it would have saved me the headache! If they decide to unblock me though, I'll do this. BookClubIntern (talk) 14:58, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Actually, I don't see a problem with this username now that you've explained it. Daniel Case (talk) 06:34, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Pinging blocking admin for some additional discussion. This instance seems to focus on a particular source, with this editor reverting a whole set of otherwise identical changes made by an IP (I'm not aware of any conduct issues between the two, other than this spree). The username query seems a non-starter to me - I've no concerns with it. I'd be inclined to give them several warnings (source judgement, chasing another editor's edits, general dispute handling) and a second chance, given their unblock request.
