User talk:Nancy J Fox

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was William C. Byham ‎, 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:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * 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! 220  of  Borg 09:38, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

You appear to have a COI at Doors Open Pittsburgh, too. See also WP:42. — Jeff G. ツ 23:10, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi there! Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:
 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision differences
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list and
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! 220  of  Borg 09:39, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jeff G.. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 23:14, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Doors Open Pittsburgh, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Nancy J Fox, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. — Jeff G. ツ 21:42, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Jeff, thank you for your comments. I am a volunteer at DOORS OPEN Pittsburgh and work on projects for them as they are a staff of two. I have no financial interest in the organization and can provide whatever proof of this that Wikipedia needs from the executive director, Bonnie Baxter. Please let me know what I need to do to have this lifted. In terms of content, I will review it for neutrality--I was given content and can remove any hint of commercialism. I should have caught this when I added it. Right now, I am blocked from editing and would like to be able to make these changes. Or, if you prefer, I can submit a new draft to you--just let me know how that needs to happen. If you have specific language that you think needs to be altered, I would love to hear from you.
