User talk:LifeSkillsThruArt

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Rehabilitation Through the Arts, 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

 * 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! Drmies (talk) 16:47, 14 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I am updating the page of Rehabilitation Through the Arts, a non profit that teaches various art forms in prison. Although I work for the organization, I am not promoting it. Much of the information is dated and because a narrative film based on our program will be featured in the Toronto Film Festival next month, we want to make sure all of our information is accurate.
 * Please either reinstate the last edit or send me the copy and I will send you back a final version for editing.
 * Thank you. LifeSkillsThruArt (talk) 17:18, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Whether you are "promoting" it or not is really irrelevant (the tone of your edits was promotional enough), but since you are employed by the organization you need to follow the above links and declare your COI. No, I am not going to restore blatantly promotional material, although it is still there in the history, and I am certainly not going to edit anything for you.

 * I did not ask you to edit anything for me - only to send me the last iteration of the article before the edits were deleted. I found another way to get it, so please disregard that request.
 * I have edited the article and added references and would like to repost. How do I send it to you? Artandsocialjustice (talk) 16:50, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
