User talk:Mtkiff

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Filene Research Institute, 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

Regarding Filene Research Institute Page
Hi -

Thanks for your comments regarding this page. My intent was for the Filene Research Institute page to be deleted/archived as to not be visible any longer. I am an employee at this organization responsible for our IT needs and we have a website that we use to communicate about our organization and prefer to not have a wikipedia page as this page does not contain current information and we do not intend to maintain it going forward.

This page was created by a staff intern from years back who no longer works with this organization.

Currently this page is misleading and we do not want it to confuse any of our member organizations.

If possible, we would like it removed as soon as possible. I followed the information I found regarding deleting pages and included that into the page code as suggested.

Thanks, Mike Mtkiff (talk) 20:43, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
