User talk:Captav

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

I noticed that one of the first articles 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 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
 * 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! Girth Summit  (blether) 07:33, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi - further to the above, I wanted to give you a more personal explanation of my concerns.
 * Accounts may not be shared between multiple people - only one person may edit from an account, or have access to the password. That person may not pass it on to someone else - if more than one person from an organisation wishes to edit Wikipedia, they should each set up a separate account. See WP:NOSHARING for more on this.
 * I assume that you work for the organisation you intend to write on behalf of. Therefore, both the COI guidelines and the PAID policy apply to you. Please familiarise yourself with them before you start editing - for one thing, there are specific declarations you will need to make.
 * If you are writing about a subject that you are connected with, you should use the WP:AfC process to submit drafts for review by independent editors.
 * Please familiarise yourself with the WP:NMUSIC guidelines, which describe our notability criteria for musicians and bands. Articles about subjects that don't meet those criteria will not be retained.
 * Thanks. Girth Summit  (blether)  07:39, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I now understand the system a little big more and certainly will follow the advice given. Captav (talk) 20:53, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
