User talk:Mktgts2

Welcome!
Hello, Mktgts2, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Catena Media, 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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * 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! Bridget (talk) 17:52, 22 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Bridget! Wikipedia suggested that I edit the Catena Media page. I am not affiliated with them and made minor copyediting changes (spacing, linking, etc.). Why do you think I have a conflict of interest when I had never heard of them before today? Thank you. Mktgts2 (talk) 18:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps it was a perception that your username implies "marketing" as well as these first edits of yours being "corporate" entities that triggered this reaction. Your edit summaries include tags that these were newcomer tasks, so perhaps Bridget was jumping to a conclusion. In any case, your explanation here is sufficient and there's nothing else you need to do for now. Just keep editing.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 19:57, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes - it was your username and the fact that Catena Media (which has a history of editors with a probable conflict of interest) was the second article you edited that gave me the impression.
 * In any case, Mktgts2, my bad for jumping to conclusions! Happy editing, Bridget (talk) 20:03, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you both! I really appreciate the explanation. I'm new to this and definitely want to make sure I'm following all the rules. Thank you! Mktgts2 (talk) 20:18, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
