User talk:Harold Crouch

Welcome!
Hello, Harold Crouch, 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 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 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. 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! satusuro 05:15, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

If...
You wish for another editor to apply further amendments to the article about yourself, other users/editors at ANU should be able to help, or you could choose to use WP:OTRS if you so wish. satusuro 05:36, 22 December 2014 (UTC)

explanation
''I came across the entry on Harold Crouch around the middle of this year and found that it contained several relatively minor factual errors. I was reluctant to correct them then because I didn't want readers to get the impression that I was the author blowing my own trumpet! But looking at the article once again I thought I should at least correct the errors without adding to the substance of the article. So I don't feel any conflict of interest. You would have noticed that I was born in 1940 and at my age have some difficulty with modern communications.

Harold Crouch''

From User:SatuSuro - it is appreciated that you are able to correct the mistakes, and please do not take the templating of your editing in the wrong way - it is required when we see an account in the name of the article - as in many cases it is for reasons which are not conducive to a balanced and well written encyclopedia. In this case, your edits are appreciated. The best wishes for Christmas and the new year. satusuro 01:30, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
