User talk:Editor for the Borough of Stevenage

Welcome!
Hello, Editor for the Borough of Stevenage, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Stevenage railway station, 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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide

 * Contributing to Wikipedia

 * 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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Igarnish (talk) 03:27, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * @Igarnish Hi there, I know you left this message a while ago, but I'd like to start making more contributions to things in Stevenage and Hertfordshire. I don't work for any organisations related to articles I edit, like the train station, as my username may suggest. I picked it when I was slightly younger and wanted to seem more official than I really am. I've made a global name change request to something a bit more normal sounding, and I Hooe to continue to edit into the future! Editor for the Borough of Stevenage (talk) 23:46, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to Swallow New Swallow, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the article will look like without actually saving it.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Jessicapierce (talk) 16:40, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
