User talk:Mikegrocott

Welcome!
Hello, Mikegrocott, 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

 * 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! Sea Cow (talk) 18:16, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Sea Cow. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Mike Grocott seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sea Cow (talk) 18:17, 26 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Dear Sea Cow
 * I think everything I added to the webpage was all simply factual.
 * Please advise as to how I should do this differently, and/or if it is possible to replace the edits I made earlier.
 * Thank you
 * Kind regards

 * Dear Sea Cow
 * Reading the concerns above, I wonder if the problem is that I have logged in from a different IP address (I am staying in a hotel using my mobile as my link to the internet). Does this make it look like multiple people are using my account?
 * Kind regards

 * Nope. Your username suggests that you are writing about yourself. In your edits was obvious self-advertising and POV pushing. Per Conflict of interest you NEED to disclose a COI. I would highly suggest you refrain from writing about yourself. Cheers! Sea Cow (talk) 18:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Apologies Sea Cow
 * I am not sure what POV pushing is, and I thought I was simply describing my career.
 * I will stop now. and ensure that someone else updates this page in the future.
 * Thank you.
 * Kind regards
