Cleveland Division of Fire
Hello! I see that you are trying to update sections of the Cleveland Division of Fire page. Unfortunately your changes have continued to break the page and have thus been reverted. If you would like assistance with your edits please leave a message on my Talk Page. --Zackmann08 (talk) 16:11, 11 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I was not aware and would absolutely like the page to reflect the accurate info. Unfortunately your changes broke the formatting of the page:
 * Example #1 -> This edit broke the formatting of the table. Scroll down the page to see what I'm talking about.
 * Example #2 -> In this example, unfortunately with infoboxes you cannot just change "Squads" to "Squads (rescues)". The template looks for "squads" and doesn't know what to do with "squads (rescues)". For more on templates you can look at Help:A quick guide to templates.


 * Anyway, I know that all this can be very difficult if you are brand new to editing a wiki. It took me ages to understand this stuff. I take it from your username that you are affiliated with the Cleveland Division of Fire. Would it be possible for me to reach out to you via email? I would really like to make sure that the info on this page is correct. Thanks!! --Zackmann08 (talk) 17:32, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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.)

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.
