User talk:Charles May

User Sudiop quite rightly points out that I have a COI with the page I am trying to edit. I have declared this in my user page and if you look at my edit you will see I am not trying to promote a business or employer, merely correct an incorrect fact. Namely, that the Post Office in Coombe Bissett no longer has Outreach status but since Novemeber 2014 has been upgraded to the Local network, enjoying a greater level of services. While this is clearly a technicality, the Local brand is one with which consumers should become more familiar, as more branches join the network. Please can you advise me how this information can be corrected - I don't mind if someone else wishes to make the edit, but I do mind that the information given in the article is incorrect and has been for over 6 months!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Coombe Bissett, 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.)

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!
