User talk:S Bucketlist

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Dr. Mindy Howard, 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 of use and our policy on paid editing.

 * Hello, GPL93, I would like to disclose that I have not received any type of compensation, financial or otherwise, for writing this article. I participated in a volunteer program for the United Nations Office of Outer Space Affairs Space4Women Initiative, where I was paired with Dr. Mindy Howard for a mentorship. While researching her contributions, I realized she did not yet have a Wikipedia page and I opted to write it for her since I had already researched her background. Is there any specific way I can clear up any conflict of interest on my article Draft:Mindy Howard? Thank you. S Bucketlist (talk) 21:20, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I think you meant to notify . I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 21:39, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * With respect to the conflict of interest inquiry, your response here is sufficient and you don't need to do anything more about it.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 21:46, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Your draft is at an early stage, so I denied the speedy tag. You still have a lot of work to do on the draft to get it ready: more inline-citations are needed, you need to be more careful about appearing promotional, and trim down the excessive lists of publications and appearances. It also looks like you may need to locate some better notability references.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 21:58, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
 * I was hoping to see some more edits from you. One thing that would be good to do is to create your user page and add a sentence like the one you have above explaining why you are writing about Howard. I know I said you didn't need to do anything in addition to the disclosure here, but the standard place for such things is on your user page.
 * Also, we often give the advice that creating a new page is one of the hardest things you can choose to do as a new editor. In order to avoid frustration, you might want to spend considerable time making smaller contributions by improving existing pages. You can find lists of possible small edits at the Community Portal. Doing that for a while will help prepare you for new article creation. I'm surprised that your volunteer program advisors didn't explain these possibilities.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 05:21, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
