User talk:Christaackroyd

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Christa Ackroyd, 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
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

 * (The above is a "boiler-plate" message for new editors who appear to have a "Conflict of interest")
 * Hallo Christa, assuming that the editor with this name is the person with the name (obviously we have no way to know): Autobiography has useful advice for people who want to edit articles about themselves. Basically, please don't: add suggestions, with reliable independent sources, to the article talk page, and someone else will consider the suggestion and act on it. I've left your additions to Christa Ackroyd, after rescuing the text that got into the middle of a reference and broke it, but you need to provide sources for both statements. The fact that you "know" is not sufficient for Wikipedia, sorry. Welcome to editing, and I hope you can find some other, neutral, topics on which to contribute to the encyclopedia.
