User talk:Sctcopy

Welcome!
Hello, Sctcopy, 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 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations

 * 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!

Help request
Hello, thank you for taking time to leave me a message! Grateful if you could run me through what I need to do in order to get my page back up? (I am the only person who owns and runs this account. I am creating the page in question as a favour to an ex-colleague.)

I really appreciate your help. Best wishes, Sctcopy (talk) 15:08, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing you are referring to Draft:Marcus Killick.
 * You refer to him as an ex-colleague. That may be a close enough connection that you really should disclose it on your user page.
 * As for what to do with the draft, the first thing that struck me was the many external links in the body text. Where possible, because a suitable target page exists, those should be turned into wikilinks; otherwise probably left as plain text.
 * A biography article of this type is required to use inline citations (footnotes) for essentially every statement made. You have listed some references at the bottom, but much of the text appears to be unsupported by a source. In addition, you may not add your own gloss - as in "the criticism ceased" when citing articles that detail the controversy but not that the criticism ceased.
 * As the draft is already submitted for review, I'm not going to supersede that process, just give you a few things to work on while you wait.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 17:45, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for taking the time to explain all this to me. I really do want to get better at Wiki editing, I appreciate it! I’ve gone back into the article and made amendments. I hope this will be enough to get it over the line. :) ~ Sctcopy (talk) 16:29, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
