User talk:Pfoxsounds

Welcome!
Hello, Pfoxsounds, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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: 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! Gyrofrog (talk) 01:56, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Hello Gyrofrog
 * Thank you for the suggestions. I'm pretty sure I understand the COI policies here, and I suppose I've technically violated them by editing an article that I'm one of the fairly indirect subjects of. However my edits were mainly to correct the possible impression that it was someone other than myself being referred to. In one case, there was a hyperlink from my name that pointed to an article about someone who shares my name but is not me. I removed the hyperlink. Then I added my middle initial to the references to my name on that page in order to further clarify identity. Also, there was a second page that had a link on my name to a no longer existing web page of mine, and  I corrected that link to point to another working and relevant page. No opinions have been expressed or business agendas pursued.
