User talk:Courtneyb1

Welcome!
Hello, Courtneyb1, 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 our use and 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

 * Ahem, are you sure that welcoming such editors is appropriate? I already mentioned to her about COI.--Biografer (talk) 21:38, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * , yes, completely appropriate. The point is to educate, and this welcome message provides much more information and resources for editors with a conflict of interest than your single sentence with the alphabet soup "WP:COI", which means absolutely nothing to new editors.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:45, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but she did removed a whole personal life section. A complete vandalism in my opinion that shouldn't be praised with such thing as a welcome. Considering the fact that user already reverted her edits once prior to my warning.--Biografer (talk) 23:58, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Biografer. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Jay Goldberg have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Help Desk. Thanks.--Biografer (talk) 21:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Mr. Goldberg himself took issue with personal information being listed in the section and requested it be removed.
 * Please read out policy on WP:COI. Just because he request it, doesn't mean that we are oblige to your policies. We have our own.--Biografer (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
