User talk:Spencecomms

Welcome!
Hello, Spencecomms, 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
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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

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! -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:32, 26 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Spencecomms. I added the above template to your user talk page after seeing your question at the Wikipedia Teahouse. The template contains blue links to various pages that you might find helpful. Please note that your conflict of interest appears to be more financial in nature than not (see meta:Terms of use/FAQ on paid contributions without disclosure for more on this) which means you need to be very careful to comply with Wikipedia:Paid-contributions disclosure (even if all you do is make edit requests) because undisclosed paid editing is considered to be a violation of Wikipedia's Terms of Use. So, you might want to elaborate more on your connection to your employer and the articles your requesting edits on per WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:41, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
