Welcome!
Hello, Lauryndavis, 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
 * 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!

 * Hi! Let me know on my talk page if you need any help! Offhand the biggest issue with the page is the tone, as it was written from a promotional, non-neutral point of view. If you're coming from a marketing background then this can be harder to pick up on since buzzwords and promotional terms are everyday things that you're used to using. There are also some issues with the sourcing, as some of it didn't back up the claims.
 * For example, you used a book published in 2014 to back up claims that Ware's article received widespread attention and controversy, however as the article was published in 2020 it won't be able to back up this claim. You also used the article itself for this, which also can't back up the claim of it being widely discussed and debated - you need independent, secondary sources for this. You also want to be careful about the size of the claim, as widespread can be kind of vague since people can have different opinions about what widespread actually means. (IE, it can mean a global or continental scale or it can mean widespread within academia, widespread on the Internet, and so on.) Offhand it looks like it has been discussed, however it doesn't seem like it received the level of discussion claimed in the draft. I don't see any coverage about controversy either, so at most we can say that Ware published an article but that's about it. We also need to be careful about listing article publications in the lead, as this is seen as fairly routine for scholars and activists. There can be a list in the publications section, but it should be limited to the most notable publications (ie, the ones that have received coverage) as otherwise a list can grow fairly long since it can be very common for some to publish a lot. (Some have 200+ articles!)
 * I am going to try to clean this up some and resubmit it, but I wanted to leave some notes to explain what I'm doing. ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  04:19, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

 * I ended up going through it - I figured that this was a good use of my time and it would be good to edit it right away so it can be posted that much faster. Thanks for writing the article! ReaderofthePack (formerly Tokyogirl79)  (｡◕‿◕｡)  06:08, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
