Welcome!
Hello, Exchange123, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:
 * 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! —C.Fred (talk) 18:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Promotional edits are not permitted
Your edits meet the criteria of business promotion and are not permitted. E.g.,writing "Learn more at MarylandHealthConnection.gov" is what one finds in an advert not an encyclopedia. Similarly the list of services is promotional. Finally I suspect that you are editing on behalf of the organisation and your use of 'we' suggests that more than one individual is using the account. Neither is permitted by Wikipedia. QuiteUnusual (talk) 21:49, 25 June 2019 (UTC)


 * It might help, as you're getting used to editing, if you go in smaller chunks. Pick one piece of information out of the article, indicate how it should be change, and provide the reliable source that supports the change. If you do that on the talk page of the article, then other (independent) editors can help you get the information into the article, provided it all checks out. —C.Fred (talk) 18:52, 9 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Also, changing your username does not alleviate your conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit the Maryland Health Connection article, you must disclose your employer per WP:PAID. —C.Fred (talk) 19:11, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

July 2019
Hello, I'm C.Fred. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Maryland Health Connection, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:02, 9 July 2019 (UTC)


 * It was relatively trivial to Google the name of the new executive director. I have added her name along with a source. Please make sure that you cite reliable sources for any changes you make to any article. —C.Fred (talk) 19:08, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
