Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:Thomas D. Hormel, from its old location at User:Tomhormel/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:37, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Tomhormel", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it gives the impression that your account represents a group, organization or website. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why.

Thank you. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:37, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello Frayae. In response to your initial message. My username, "Tomhormel" is a first and last name and does not represent a group, nor a website, but an individual. Could you help me to understand why this may not meet Wikipedia's username policy and what you would suggest may be a more appropriate name other than my own? Thank you in advance and thank you for the additional notes above.


 * Yes sorry that is the default message. You are writing about Tom Hormel and your username is Tom Hormel. If you are not actually Tom Hormel then you should change your username. Otherwise you should read the WP:COI guidance. &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 20:04, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Tomhormel, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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! &mdash; Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 20:44, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
