User talk:KatieHughes34

Welcome!
Hello, KatieHughes34, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Claire Doherty, 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.

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! Pam D  08:41, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

More on Claire Doherty
Hallo Katie,

The message above is a standard templated message: I see that all your edits have been to just the one article, so I ask you to say whether you have a "Conflict of Interest" as described above. Are you Claire Doherty, or a friend, family member, work associate etc of her? If so, you should not edit her article but can add constructive suggestions on the article's talk page for improvements or corrections to the article.

If you continue to edit the article, please take care not to add information which is not supported by independent reliable published sources. Information which you "know" cannot be included without sources. And if you add references, please take a few minutes to look at the way references are added and try to include more of the necessary information: think as if you were writing a paper for publication and giving references, and include just as much information. If you can't work out how to format it, then include it as free text within the tags. You can see how I've upgraded the refs you've added recently. Thanks.

But to get back to my first point: please state here whether or not you have a Conflict of Interest with Claire Doherty. Thanks. Pam D  08:48, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
