Welcome!
Hello, STilders, 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 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!

regarding conflict of interest
Hi SatuSuro. I hope I have been unbiased in my edits. My comments on the source of one item of information was undone by myself because I felt I had not and could not explain it clearly. On the occasion in question a lot of media outlets sourced their information from wikipedia which had incorrect information due to a single article it cited.

The other edits regarding the invented daughter (actually a granddaughter) I removed because they could cause upsetting rumours to those close to the subject - I found it humourous, but decided that it needed to be corrected. I have also contacted the author of the outside article which was cited. STilders (talk) 06:10, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I can understand the problem - if you are family, there is a tendency to name yourself on wikipedia the same as the subject you are editing, which does cause problem for WP:BLP, and WP:COI, however the usual remedy is to either use WP:OTRS to contact someone on wikipedia regarding the edits, or to start another account with a name that has no connection with the subject. I went to school with a guy here in Australia who simply cannot get around the issue of his being able to edit his own article (he is for his own misfortune notable and famous) is not on. As you have changed things anyways, I understand where you come from, and consider the issue a moot point. If you want to continue editing on other articles, I strongly suggest a request to change a user name, or abandon this account and start a new one. Either way, have a good day. satusuro 06:21, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I would hope that any changes I make will be unbiased and factual and that I will be allowed to make them (innocent until proven guilty). My interest is vested, but not conflicted. I'm unlikely to produce new information, only make efforts to remove incorrect information. STilders (talk) 06:33, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

There is always the possibility someone will either block you or warn you - I strongly suggest you go down the OTRS line if you think there are innacuracies. Just because I liked his music doesnt make me the final answer on this issue. Take care satusuro 06:36, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
