User talk:StatScanner

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Kathy Salvi, 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

 * 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!

 * You indeed have a glorious name; I am a fan of Stevens.
 * With regards to Mrs. Salvi's page, I do live in Illinois though that is the extent to any possible COI. This is my first page on this account though I was once an active Wikipedian (many, many years ago).
 * This page was made in strict adherence to the merit-oriented guidelines of Wikipedia. As I am sure you are, I am adamant about maintaining accurate and warranted presentation of information here on Wikipedia. I follow such principles in the creation of Kathy's page with the most careful intention to maintain an NPOV.
 * Very best,

 * Thanks! One question I have about potential COI is: how did you come to get this photo of Salvi? Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 12:33, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I personally took this picture during a press interview while Mike Flannery of WFLD-TV in Chicago was asking the subject questions. StatScanner (talk) 21:23, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for answering! Consider my COI objections withdrawn. I have more content-focused questions that I'll ask at the article talk page. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 12:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
