Hello. My name is Emilie Holm. I'm Timi 'Grabber' Hansen's daughter, and a self-taught artist. To be honest, I only made a wikipedia account to help with my dad's page. RoxyPaw (talk) 01:36, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Timi Hansen, 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.)

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 our use and 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! -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:43, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi RoxyPaw. I saw your post at User talk:Oshwah, so I've added the above welcome template to your user talk page. The template contains links (the words in blue) to various other Wikipedia policy and guideline pages wish you might find helpful. Some other pages that you might find helpful are Wikipedia:Ownership of content, Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, Wikipedia:Biographies of living people, Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Single-purpose accounts. Based upon what you've posted above, you would be considered to have a conflict-of-interest with repsect to anything written about your father on Wikipedia. Although Wikipedia doesn't expressly prohibited conflict-of-interest editing, it does highly discourage it because people who a connected with the subject of any article often have difficulty adhering to Wikipedia's 5 Pillars. Such editors may really have the best of intentions, but their editing might not be in accordance with Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines and their goals might not be compatible with Wikipedia's goals. If you have any questions about any of this, you can ask them below. However, the Wikipedia Teahouse is also a really good place to ask questions about Wikipedia. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:58, 6 July 2018 (UTC)

You should make a website for your dad!
Hi Emilie, I also by chance happened to see your post on 's talk page. I think it's great that you want to share your stories about your dad. I wanted to suggest that you make a website about him together! You could get maybe "timihansen.dk" or something like that. If it's considered his "official" website, then you can put a link to it in the Wikipedia article. I googled his name and didn't find an official website for him, so I think it's a good idea if you do it. That way you can put all the stories he's shared with you there, for all the people who would be interested.

Wikipedia has a rule that an article can only include information that's been published by "reliable sources", like proper books, newspapers, and so on. That's why you can't put your personal stories in the Wikipedia article. But if they're on his official website, then you can at least put a link to it, even though you can't put the stories in the article unless they get published.

If you find stories or information that is published in books or newspapers, that you think should be added to the Wikipedia article, that's also possible. But it's best if it's checked by an independent editor first. You can put an edit request on the talk page, if you want to do that. Good luck! --IamNotU (talk) 05:54, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
