User talk:Mikebawden

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Alec Peters, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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! /wiae /tlk  19:26, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

I have no idea what I'm doing.

My client called me in a panic and told me I had to get a bio page up for him right away because people who are trying to get him sued have started talking on a rival Facebook page about creating a Wikipedia page for him that will hurt his professional reputation.

I've created the page (I think), but I don't know how to upload photos or anything.

Can somebody help me?

Thanks,

Mike Bawden

I don't understand any of this ...
I'm completely lost.

All I want to do is get my client's Wikipedia page up before some people who want to bankrupt him put one up instead.

I got a message saying I have a conflict of interest (I get that, it's my client), but the instructions on what to do don't make any sense to me. Is there someone I can just email the article to and get it posted?

Help me, Obi Wan, you're my only hope.
