User talk:Kyle.johansen

Welcome!
Hello, Kyle.johansen, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Bill Johansen‎‎, 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. 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 any other 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.

The one firm 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.)

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!   Wikipelli Talk   14:27, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Kyle! Thank you for the additions to the article. As it states above, it is usually not a good idea to edit an article about someone to whom you are related (assuming you are the Kyle Johansen in the article). This might seem to be a little strange because you might think that who would know better than you about the person! The problem is that it is usually very difficult to remain neutral and encyclopedic about the subject of the article. In fact, while I left some factual information in the article, I found it necessary to take out a couple of lines that were not verifiable and represented an opinion rather than fact. If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know!   Wikipelli Talk   14:30, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
