User talk:Chrylhrrs101

Welcome!
Hello, Chrylhrrs101, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Neil Gibson (rower), 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:

 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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!  Schwede 66  07:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your email. It is indeed a lot easier to communicate once you have a Wikipedia account. I'm afraid to say that you cannot edit a page for one of your family members; Wikipedia does not allow that because of WP:COI. The way to overcome those issues is to post on an article's talk page, outlining suggested changes and providing reliable sources as needed. Please ask as many questions as is necessary; here is good. If "Nigel" is wrong, I take it that comes from the Olympedia website. I know somebody there and they would definitely be happy to receive a birth certificate or something like that. Say if that's the case and I'll direct you to the relevant Wikipedian who is involved in that organisation. Strangely enough, Wikipedia itself wouldn't deal with a birth certificate but only uses secondary references (unlike Olympedia).  Schwede 66  07:52, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
 * So Neil's details will remain incorrect because I can't supply a photo of a death notice, cut from a 1999 newspaper, to Wikipedia, because I am related. To be honest, I can't be bothered taking this any further. I was just trying to correct errors in his name & date of death - not add medals to his tally, or make him Prime Minister of NZ.
 * Thanks for trying to help. Sorry about the tone, but I am rather disappointed. Chrylhrrs101 (talk) 00:45, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Something published in a newspaper is a secondary source. That is perfectly fine for Wikipedia. I'll reply by email and if you send it to me, I will deal with it. With regards to his incorrect name, maybe you should read what I had to say above. If that's unambiguously covered by the death notice that might do.  Schwede 66  07:08, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
