User talk:Dcastelli9

Welcome
Hello, Dcastelli9, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice 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. 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 any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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.

The one firm 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 10:36, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

conflict of interest in editing an article
Unless someone else is pretending to be you (which is possible), it appears that you have been editing under an IP address an article about an organization where you work. It also appears that you may prefer not to be identified as editing that article, so I won't name it now unless you wish me to. If you are editing that article, you appear to have a conflict of interest manifesting in the article as a promotional tone and as a non-neutral point of view. In the interest of determining if you are possibly the user of that IP address, for which applying the CheckUser procedure is sometimes permitted, I raised this issue at User talk:Jpgordon, where it was answered that posting here instead would be a good idea. If you want the evidence, I'll post it here. If you're not the editor with that IP address, just say so and I'll proceed on that basis. If you may be trying not to be identified as editing that article, if you want me to provide any of the foregoing information that could be used to identify the IP editor as you, please be unambiguous with your request/s. Although editing articles for which you have a COI is severely constrained, you're welcome to edit Wikipedia. Thank you and best wishes. Nick Levinson (talk) 17:19, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
