User talk:TheCauseArtisin

Welcome!
Hello, TheCauseArtisin, 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:

 * 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! VQuakr (talk) 00:12, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello VQuakr, Thank you for your note and guidance! I can assure you that I will not violate any conflict of interest rules. Greatly appreciate your advice & direction! (TheCauseArtisin (talk) 17:00, 10 May 2019 (UTC))

Hi TheCauseArtisin! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Yank Barry that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Yank Barry dubbing
You can see prior discussion of that appellation for Barry and why it was decided not to include it at Talk:Yank_Barry/Archive_1. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:07, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

Paid editor disclosure
Given your statement that you are Director of Marketing for GVCF foundations, I have added a paid editor disclosure to [Talk:Yank Barry] on your behalf. As you will see at WP:PAID, it is recommended that you add this disclosure tag on the talk page of any article that you edit for pay (as broadly defined.) Thank you for making your disclosure of your position. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:37, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
