Issues
It looks like you are trying to create an article about a historic house. First of all, you should create an account or username for yourself as a individual editor. This account has the name of what you intend to be an article. I would create a new account and abandon this one. The text here will not be lost, you can copy it. But the better place to construct an article is in your sandbox. This current page is a USER page where editors optionally provide info about themselves. MB 18:28, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Elijah Thomas Webb Residence. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Elijah Thomas Webb Residence, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. 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 WP: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. ''Please follow the instructions on how to disclose a COI. Thanks.'' MB 19:30, 25 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, I am the homeowner and and the pictures that were taken for the NRHP forms were all taken by me and the historic photo is from the 1890s and was a promotional souvenir booklet for Webb City and I own one of the original booklets. I have not posted anything that would benefit me in any way. Sorry if I have caused any problems. Elijah Thomas Webb Residence (talk) 02:10, 26 August 2020 (UTC)


 * This looks sufficient. It is important since you do have a relationship with the subject. Thanks for doing this and trying to follow our policies. (On talk pages, we use colons for indentation to show which editor said what. I have added them here). MB 02:24, 26 August 2020 (UTC)


 * No problem, and thank you for all your help. By the way...is it possible to change the name on this account and retain it, or is it a total wash? (talk) 02:58, 26 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, you should change your username if you plan to continue editing. The instructions are at WP:RENAME. But it may be easier to just stop using this account and create another account with a name that conforms to WP:UPOL. (When you indent on talk pages with a colon, you need to increase the number each reply to indent further as I have done above.) MB 03:37, 26 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Got it and again thanks for all your help!
