User talk:Elaine McKenna

Welcome!
Hi Elaine McKenna! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:

Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.

If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:

If you are not sure where to help out, you can find a task here:

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

I would recommend staying away from edits adding mentions of yourself into articles. While I didn't revert what you've done so far because it appeared factual, Wikipedia is quite specifically not to be used for promotional purposes and accounts that seem to be only interested in promotion can end up blocked. That said, I hope you find other ways to contribute to the project. Good luck and Happy editing! &#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 19:47, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Elaine McKenna. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Deborah Lawrie, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:07, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

 * how is this message constructive, considering it falsely claims that this user has made edits at Elaine McKenna and they've already received duplicate guidance directly above?&#32;-- Fyrael (talk) 17:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I was meaning it towards their interest in the page (as stated on User talk:ARoseWolf) and was not meaning to claim they have made edits to said page. If you would like me to delete this I can. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:49, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
