User talk:LizKennedy2019

Welcome!
Hello, LizKennedy2019, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was The Gazette (Cedar Rapids), 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:
 * 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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! --Rocknrollmancer (talk) 03:03, 18 December 2019 (UTC)

Future editing
Thank you for using a name which is internet searchable. Unfortunately this suggests a clash with Wikipedia policy on conflict of interest which states "Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships" and "COI editors should not edit affected articles directly, but should propose changes on article talk pages instead". Any such proposed changes should be supported by references, preferably by an independent third party. Please also note that the external links you added were unacceptable due to being commercial enterprises outside of direct relevance to the encyclopedic content of the subject matter. You are welcome to contribute to any other articles. Thank you again.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 19:45, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
