Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Mlotmore. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.  Sounder Bruce  05:06, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

November 2021
Your recent editing history at Lynnwood, Washington shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. The thread is Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring. Thank you.  Sounder Bruce  03:17, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Another outreach
Welcome to Wikipedia. It appears you're struggling with some of our admittedly dense and complicated rules. I'm hoping this will help you.

You have a conflict of interest in that you are making edits promoting a company you founded/work for. Wikipedia does not allow editors to use it for promotional purposes. That said, you are welcome to contribute to this encyclopedia project in other ways.

The reason your edits are being reverted is that your news outlet does not appear to meet our notability guidelines. For something like a company to be added to a city's article, we'd need reliable sources that cover that company and its connection to the city. Compare Lynwood Times edits to Akron, Ohio. Other resources to peruse include WP:TOOSOON, WP:DUE, and WP:SECONDARY.  Eve rgr een Fir  (talk) 06:58, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
