User talk:Lacronk

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Lindsay Cronk, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * 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!

Speedy deletion nomination of NorthEast Research Libraries Consortium
Hello Lacronk,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged NorthEast Research Libraries Consortium for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

 * Hi! I'm a member of NERL-- we wanted to reuse the content but I can edit as needed. NERL is a very important consortium of North American research institutions. Please advise. Thanks! Lacronk (talk) 17:46, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * See WP:PAID. Also, if this account is shared by more than one person, I suggest you bring it down to 1 as it is against policy for accounts to be used by multiple people. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:48, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * My account is just me-- I used "we" to describe the members I work with. Sorry for any confusion! Lacronk (talk) 18:25, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It's alright. It's best to be careful when you use the word "we" here on WIkipedia since it can imply you are on a shared account. I still suggest you read WP:PAID and follow the instructions on the page for declaring that you are paid by NERL. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:28, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not paid by NERL-- I'm a volunteer/member. Does that still apply? Lacronk (talk) 19:28, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Could you possibly clarify? Are you saying you are doing work for the company but aren't being paid, or if you are just being paid but not for edits relating to the company. In any sense, you still have a WP:COI and need to declare it. See WP:DCOI for info on how to do so. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:29, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a membership organization-- I am a volunteer member updating social media and web presence. I guess that's a conflict of interest? Lacronk (talk) 19:49, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It's a nonprofit, not a company. Along with other members I help create the content on the webpage. Is that still a COI? Thanks so much for bearing with me! Lacronk (talk) 19:52, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes. Even if you are not being paid (and even if it's not a company, which a non-profit still technically is) you still have a COI. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:54, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Cool disclosed on my user page! Thanks for taking the time. Lacronk (talk) 18:38, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem! ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:40, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, Futures, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

 * Hi! Core is a relatively new division of ALA formed out of 3 divisions that previously had Wikipedia pages. I can try to add citations, but it is comparable to ALCTS, LITA and ACRL. Lacronk (talk) 17:47, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
