User talk:KKirbyMiami

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was List of first women mayors (20th century), 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
 * 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
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Your first experience
I know your initial experience with Wikipedia probably didn't go as you had hoped. But let me say I admire your dedication and celebrate your accomplishments. I am thrilled this particular situation ended positively and we were able to give you the proper recognition. So many times we are unable to due to our policies which are needed to maintain and protect the encyclopedia. I know the process can be frustrating. Thank you for bringing it up at the appropriate venue to get the help you needed and I hope you will stay and learn about Wikipedia, maybe even become a regular editor yourself. Anything that I can help you with to that end I will be more than happy to do. -- A Rose Wolf  16:33, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
