User talk:Edbolian

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Ed Bolian, 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:

 * 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.

Response: Thank you so much for the message and for the clarification. In case there was any question, I am the person that the Ed Bolian page is about. I am the only person that uses this account and I certainly understand the conflict of interest. I made a few edits on my page that were spelling corrections, external citations, and internal links. I do not believe I added any content. That being said, I completely understand if any of them need to be removed or reversed. Can you offer some insight into the request to have my page removed? I don't see any grounds for this to be happening as I believe my NY to LA record is sufficiently noteworthy for the placement it has. Can you offer any input?
 * The discussion really is about if the article meets the requirements at Notability. Mattlore (talk) 21:14, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I have read through the Notability discussion and I don't see the issue. The page seems to meet the criteria. Do you mind offering your opinion on whether it is an issue? Edbolian (talk) 21:19, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
