User talk:David l wsu

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Agriculture Network Information Center, 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! ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:51, 31 March 2023 (UTC)


 * That's good info to know. Thanks for getting back to me. It is true that I'm the Chair of this organization. We are about to hold our annual conference so I thought it would be a good time to update/correct the name of the organization on Wiki. I also requested a "move page" based on the name change.
 * Hopefully since this more of a technical edit there won't be much of a conflict of interest. If there is a problem please let me know.
 * Thanks again for your time and awesome service.

 * Hello David! Regardless of whether or not its a technical edit you still have a conflict of interest regarding the organization since you are the Chairperson. I suggest you read WP:COI so you know what to do in this situation. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 22:15, 31 March 2023 (UTC)
