Hi, This is HK. Please leave me a message sometime.--Hk zamani (talk) 00:57, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Hk zamani, 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.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

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! shoy (reactions) 16:01, 15 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Here is a collection of links that I think you will find helpful. Thank you for disclosing your connection with the subjects you want to write about and please review the policies above before drafting an article. Thanks, shoy (reactions) 16:02, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi Shoy, Thank you for writing to me. I understood from my tutorial, which also used oneself for practice purposes, that publishing in the Sandbox was only saving the practice drafts not actually publishing it. I do recognize the conflict issue. Although I wonder if developing a article for PØST, a artist-run, not for profit organization that started 24 years ago, and has hosted over 500 exhibits, which was my motivation for learning how to edit, is also a conflict? I may need to ask others to develop such a article? Please advise. HKHk zamani (talk) 18:48, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Your understanding of how the sandbox works is correct; for information on publishing your drafts, see Drafts. If you have any ties to the organization you write about (such as being its current or former employee/member or being paid to edit on its behalf), you should disclose that to let us know your edits related to it should be closely scrutinized. This is particularly important for editors who receive compensation for their work (see WP:PAID). There's nothing wrong per se with you writing the article (as a draft which you then submit for review) but make sure that the subject you're planning to write about meets our notability guidelines first (they can be found at WP:NORG). Also, yes, we do have a way of requesting new articles, see WP:Requested Articles. 78.28.54.200 (talk) 19:12, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
