User talk:Riasharon

Welcome
Hello, Riasharon, 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 reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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.

The 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Whose Your Guy (talk) 16:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Help request
I just signed on recently because someone notified me that there was a page on my company, My Mommy Manual. When I went to look at it, it was flagged for deletion. I'm not very familiar with Wikipedia so I went in and edited the page to make it more "neutral." But apparently, I'm not supposed to do that since I am associated with the company. So how do I delete the edits I made so that does not jeopardize the status of the page? It wasn't my intention to violate any codes of conduct. I am not even sure that I am posting this question in the right place. ~Riasharon
 * You are right that editing a page about a subject that you are associated with is considered a conflict of interest. However, your edits to the My Mommny Manual page have not created any issues or controversies and they do not need to be deleted.  There is currently a discussion about the article at Articles for deletion/My Mommy Manual, and the general concern is whether "My Mommy Manual" meets the guideline for inclusion on Wikipedia.  At this point, the consensus seems to be that there are not enough reliable sources about the company.  However, this has nothing to do with you personally, and you have done nothing to jeopardize the status of the page.-- Kubigula (talk) 03:45, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
