User talk:Mikeshermanftm

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Michael Sherman (LGBT rights advocate), 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * 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! McGeddon (talk) 10:45, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Fine just delete my page and I will revise it to YOUR DARN liking and then see, but I know of others who are on here and don't have the issues you are giving me. So much for being a welcoming place for all HUH!Mikeshermanftm (talk) 12:28, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Michael Sherman (LGBT rights advocate). While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
