User talk:BrianMelon

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Vid Grid, 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! Cheers!

 * Thank you! Yes, I was the creator and producer of Vid Grid -- Norman Beil [Brian Melon is an anagram of my name] but I did not create this Wikipedia page. Actually, I just stumbled upon it today and saw that I was incorrectly credited with having been an editor at Billboard. I would be proud to have that on my resume if it were true. Perhaps the confusion is that I wrote two guest editorials for Billboard. I also saw that the Wiki article claims I worked at Jasmine, but I didn't. Perhaps someone confused me with Jay Samit who was also involved in the game. These are minor deletions about me, not the game.
 * In terms of correcting and clarifying the game play section, I consulted the user manual and the box copy to get it right -- not my own memory. I don't think you changed that back, so far.
 * The first line calls it a tile-matching game, but it doesn't really fit that description as defined by Wikipedia. However, it is a "sliding puzzle" game as defined by Wikipedia. I don't think categorizing the game correctly is a conflict.
 * Correcting Wiki pages is new to me, so I will try to get it right. BrianMelon (talk) 02:08, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
