User talk:Sydneyjacobs

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jenna Andrews, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The 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, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! –FlyingAce✈hello 12:57, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Response
Hi there –FlyingAce✈hello

Thank you for your message. I am very unfamiliar with Wikipedia and how it works. I just tried to add more of a complete bio, but now it says it is at risk of deletion which I did not intend to do at all. Please let me know how I can make sure that at least doesn't happen!

 * The AfD has nothing to do with what you've added. This appears to be an incorrect use of AfD at this point so I wouldn't worry about it. If a proper AfD is added, you can comment with your !vote that explains why (per policy) the article should be kept. I noticed that another editor has indicated you may have a conflict of interest. Are you affiliated with the subject in anyway? There's no harm if so, our policy just requires disclosure of such. :) eta: I just saw your comment on the talk, which in my opinion is sufficient as a disclosure. I'd recommend requesting edits given the conflict (you can do this on the talk page, see Request Edit Wizard)  CHRISSY MAD  ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  22:47, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not sure if this is correct on how to respond, ha! I'm still learning my way around. I think I'll leave the page for now as the last thing I want to do is harm anything, but if I ever edit anything I will make sure to request!

Thank you so much for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydneyjacobs (talk • contribs) 23:00, 27 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Three comments. Firstly, if you reply to a specific editor, there's no need to again make use of the help me template; that will summon random helpers from all over Wikipedia. Secondly, you can "ping" the person you're replying to by adding the code (which for Chrissymad would look like ""); that will send them a notification that someone left them a message if you also sign the message. That brings me to the third comment: Talk page messages should be signed; you can most easily do so by adding four tildes  at the end. Those four tildes will be expanded into a signature that includes links to your user page and your user talk page as well as a timestamp; such a signature makes it much easier to tell who said what in a discussion.
