User talk:Jarrodclark

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

I notice 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. 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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! --R.S. Peale (talk) 19:12, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

COI or Sock?
Incidentally, if you're doing this on behalf of your friend John Lukacs, be advised that you most probably have a massive conflict of interest with regards this subject. You need to read the Wikipedia COI guidelines and adhere to them.

If you actually ARE John Lukacs, then your use of multiple accounts to evade a short-term block is even more problematic than the edits, and you could be blocked indefinitely and/or banned from the community. Your block isn't severe (yet). If you want to contribute to this community, you need to abide by its editorial and conduct standards; same as you would any other publishing venue.

The proper places to contest this are: User Talk pages (like User_talk:JLUKACS1), Article Talk pages (like Talk:John_D._Lukacs), or if all else fails,  the Wikipedia noticeboards (like Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard or Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard).

If you're looking for less confrontational advice on "how to edit Wikipedia", you might also try the Tea House. But if you ARE John Lukacs, you will need to immediately stop editing under the User:Jarrodclark account and wait for the User:JLUKACS1 account's block to expire before proceeding.--R.S.
