User talk:Sgschanze

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Chris Roush, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * 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
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

I would suggest creating a personal website, into which you can state information that has not been covered by reliable sources. Readers desiring further information can go there. That source can be linked in the article under "external links" and in certain circumstances can be usable as a source. Please indicate the existence of the personal website on the article's talk page if it is created or if it already exists. cheers, Coretheapple (talk) 19:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)


 * I am having a hard time figuring how to post a draft for someone to review. I thought I was being objective/neutral. And I didn't know to look here for your comments until now.
 * Do I post them in the talk on the bio page? Sgschanze (talk) 16:22, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I suggest doing so on the talk page of the article in question. Thank you for your cooperation. Coretheapple (talk) 16:25, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Also please disregard my suggestion that you create a personal website which can be linked or utilized as a source, since you state on the article talk page that you are not the subject and do not know the subject. A website created for a random person you do not know would not be usable as an External Link or as a source. Coretheapple (talk) 16:28, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Editing not logged on
I was engaged in a dialogue with you on Talk:Chris Roush, and then an IP user (who had previously edited in an identical manner to you) picked up the conversation. I have to assume that you neglected to log on. I strongly recommend that you edit only when logged on, as editing not logged on can give the false impression that two different people are editing. I assume this is unintentional. When editors edit in such a manner intentionally, to give the impression that two persons are editing (or participating in a discussion) when actually one is editing, it leads to an indefinite ban from Wikipedia.

 * Thanks for the advice. See my message on Talk:Chris Roush. Sgschanze (talk) 15:04, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
