User talk:KirtLast

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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

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!  Imzadi 1979  →   17:38, 19 February 2023 (UTC)


 * Just to expand upon the template, you added a citation to a webpage hosted by Stantec, but when you added it, you used a localhost URL. That means you were connecting to the web server internally and not through the web, something you could only do on Stantec's network. The URL you added wouldn't work for anyone else, and I had to do a web search to find the correct external URL that would work for others.
 * Your addition to diverging diamond interchange also referenced Stantec directly. If you are an employee of the firm, you should not be directly editing in relation to them.
 * I will leave it to others to opine if your edit was unduly promotional or not. The addition may be removed or refactored in the future.  Imzadi 1979  →   17:46, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I had no relationship with any entity mentioned in my edit. I simply knew of the location's history, and as local and a professional in an allied field, chose to add depth to the history of the subject. KirtLast (talk) 02:33, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
