My father was born in the Ross-Sewell House and I am certain that his father died in 1925. It is not particularly important to anyone except his relatives, but it would be good to have it be correct. CherryYarn (talk) 16:09, 7 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi there CherryYarn! Thank you for reaching out. Just a heads up that your previous edit to your grandfather's date of death wasn't reverted, meaning it's still listed as 1925. A conflict of interest doesn't necessarily prevent you from editing, we just ask you do it carefully or ask for help if you think you cant be impartial. In this case, a date of death is pretty straight forward.
 * Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have more questions! Pure RED  &#124; talk to me  &#124; 16:12, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Ross-Sewell House, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
