User talk:Johnson-Bob

A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Johnson-Bob. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article
 * Editor's index to Wikipedia

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Aristophanes 68  (talk)  22:35, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Johnson-Bob. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Web testing, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. ''Do not point articles in main space to user space. Thanks.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:34, 1 January 2020 (UTC)


 * I have been retired for over15 years. I have no employer or clients, and my only associates are rapidly dying off.


 * On my user page I have clearly stated since 2014 that I am a co-author of the book. It would seem to clarify the situation to let other editors and users know that one of the book’s authors also edits here at Wikipedia and is available via a user talk page.
