User talk:Mervyn Travers

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first pages you edited was Mervyn Travers, 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 page.

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
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

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've had a new article rejected or deleted, new article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE  and on IRC chatAgain, welcome! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:24, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Profile
Welcome to Wikipedia Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It does not have profiles. It has encyclopedia articles. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." Subjects of encyclopedia articles should refrain from editing about themselves. They should instead discuss content and sourcing on the article talk page. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 08:28, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
