User talk:Kayestearman

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Freedom from Torture, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * 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

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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! GermanJoe (talk) 16:47, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

"conflict of interest" editing
Hello Kayestearman, as you seem to have a "conflict of interest" regarding these articles (see WP:COI), it is strongly discouraged to edit them yourself. Most editors with a close connection to such topics will find it difficult to write in an unbiased neutral manner. I have reverted most of these promotional edits, but kept some of the updated statistics. If you would like to suggest additional factual changes, please use the article's talkpage Talk:Freedom from Torture (you can simply click on "request corrections or suggest content" at the top of the article talkpage to start an edit request). Please note that most information, except basic non-controversial details, should be based on independent reliable sources, not on the organization's own website. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ping me (WP:Teahouse is also a good forum to ask for advice). Hope this additional info is helpful. Best regards.
