User talk:Shellywhite333

Welcome!
Hello, Shellywhite333, 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! 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! Yngvadottir (talk) 22:14, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi ShellyWhite333: A very belated welcome to Wikipedia! (2012! I'm really sorry no one welcomed you earlier.) Thank you for your edits on Trinity Strand Trail, and unlike the earlier editor in the history, there is no problem with your username! However, as mentioned above, it's hard to write neutrally about something with which you are closely involved, and that's what we require. I suggest you use the article talk page to discuss issues as they arise, in particular if your edits get reverted. Another good place to go for advice and to ask questions is the Teahouse, a help space primarily for new editors. Or as it says above, you can type here on your user talk page and then ask a question; or feel free to drop me a line at my talk page, and if I don't know the answer, I'll try to find someone who can help.
