User talk:Dmziegman

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Project Fi, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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

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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Tony Tan · talk  03:16, 11 June 2016 (UTC)


 * Hi Tony,


 * Thank you for reaching out. I apologize for the concern about a potential COI.  I'd like to clear the air on your concerns.


 * I am not employed for Google, Inc., Alphabet, Inc., nor any of their subcontractors. I have never received monetary compensation from Google, nor do my opinions or postings in any way reflect Google, Inc. or the Project Fi team.  I also pay every month for my Project Fi service, just like every other customer.  I do at times talk with Googlers who work on the Fi team, and I do help users and answer questions on various social media platforms, but I do this entirely as a volunteer and not for personal gain or at the request or suggestion of Google or Project Fi.  As you can also see from the changes that I suggested, I made edits to this article to reflect missing or inaccurate/misleading information regarding the service so that if other users came across this article, they'd be able to have a more accurate description of what Project Fi is about.  This is to the fullest extent that I wish to help out with this Wikipedia article, and I more than happy to provide my edits to members of the editing team to prove and ensure that it stays that way.


 * Please let me know if you have any further concerns or questions.

 * Thank you very much for the clarification. I was concerned about a potential COI because it was not immediately clear, based on your role on other websites, whether you worked for Project Fi. It makes sense that you are a volunteer, so thank you for your contributions, to both Wikipedia and Project Fi! As long as you continue to write in a neutral point of view, we welcome your constructive additions to Wikipedia.


 * Happy editing, Tony Tan · talk  22:58, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
