Aliens??
Hello Rachel Vanderthorne. I notice that at the Teahouse query page, you have asked ". . . what is the basis to ask the aliens questions, . . . ?"

I don't understand what you mean by "the aliens", and I don't think anyone else here does either. To me this term might mean:


 * Extra-terrestrial beings;
 * People from a foreign country;
 * Elite riders in MotoGP motorcycle racing (a usage unknown to most people).

I doubt you actually mean any of those, so can you find a paraphrase or synonym we'll understand? Regards, {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.121.162.83 (talk) 20:52, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Rachel Vanderthorne. 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 WP: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. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 20:35, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
