User talk:Stevechaps

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Islabikes, 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 Advanced Special characters Help Cite policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * 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.

Undisclosed paid editing
Hi Steve, I hope you're enjoying Wikipedia. I couldn't help but notice that you unilaterally changed the Islabikes page without discussing your changes on the talk page and without declaring a clonflict of interest. Word to the wise, this is a bad idea as it undermines trust in Wikipedia and trust in your company. I have undone your edits this time and placed an undisclosed paid editing tag on the page so a more senoir member of the community can check the page for any other undisclosed paid editing which may have slipped under the radar. Going forward I suggest you read through this page wp:coi then, properly declare your conflict of interest on your user page using the correct template and discuss any changes you would like to make to the article on the article's talk page before placing an official edit request at WP:COIN. I also noticed you were working on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Isla_Rowntree Again, you need to declaire your conflict of interest and I strongly suggest reading WP:YFA before attempting a page otherwise your will be wasting not just your time but the time of the volunteers who have to clean up after you. You may also want to go and introduce yourself over at WP:teahousethey may be able to put you to work editing cycling-related pages. I hope this all makes sense and clears everything up for you.... Oh and Steve: welcome to Wikipedia. Essayist1 (talk) 08:31, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
