User talk:Garrett Lubben

Welcome!
Hello, Garrett Lubben, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Shelley Lubben, 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Dismas |(talk) 17:43, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Shelley Lubben
Hi Garrett! I've gone ahead and restored sourced content removed from the encyclopedia article about Shelley. I realize that it must be frustrating for you to see unflattering content online about your wife, let alone frustrating for Shelley herself. While I wish at times that I could edit to my heart's content and remove every negative jot and tittle from the articles written about my family, friends, and acquaintances, this is not how the Wikipedia project functions. I have responded to requests for support from Roger and I am more than happy to fix unambiguous errors and keep an eye on various articles, but unfortunately, I am not able to support promotional or biased content, or removal of sourced content, regardless of the wishes of the subject of the article. Please know that I have your best interests at heart, while wishing to maintain my professional and personal integrity with the project. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. This essay may answer some basic questions about how we respond to negative sourced content in the encyclopedia: An article about yourself is nothing to be proud of. Hope this helps.
