User talk:Johnharleyweston

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was John Harley Weston, 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.&#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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

 * Apologies, I thought I'd replied already but I may have posted my reply 'somewhere?' instead of here. Thanks for your message. I've only made very minor changes. Added a sentence about new single release 'Voices' which meant changing grammar slightly in following paragraph about Music Man album release. I also fixed a couple of links that were dead. I hope I've done this correctly. It's been a long time since I edited the page. With regard to conflict of interest, yes, the page is about myself, an independent artist. I've tried to be as factual and unbiased as possible since creating the page several years ago. Hope everything meets with your/ Wikipedia's requirements.

 * Sorry for the very late reply. (I need to do better at checking my watchlist.) Judging from the creation of the article back in 2009, the lead section seemed pretty neutral—something that one would easily mistake for an unconnected user. The first section had a bit of a promotional tone, but at least it was referenced (albeit poorly)—although it would need a bit of cleanup to meet WP:NPOV. The second section seemed less biased and promotional—I would be impressed considering it's an autobiography. So, bottom line, if you can improve the referencing a bit and clean up the sections a little, that would be great. Considering its state right now, however, I'm not sure it would survive an AfD, though. However, thanks for your effort. — 3PPYB6 — T ALK — C ONTRIBS  — 12:59, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
