Hi The Belfast Lad, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Conflict of interest?
So, now that your username issue has been resolved, we can turn to the possible COI. I know you said on your old talk page that you do not work for, or are paid by, the Deer's Head, but that isn't the only type of COI that can exist. Are you not working together with the pub to offer "talks, tours and after tour drinks"? If so, then you almost certainly have a conflict which needs to be disclosed. I will post a COI message here to help you do that. Best Regards, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:09, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, The Belfast Lad. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:09, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

 * There is no need to submit another draft of the same article. I have marked the earlier draft as belonging to you. I have then declined this draft. I haven't requested deletion of this one yet, in case there is more or different content here than in the earlier draft; if there is, please copy it across, so that this can be deleted at some point. Then continue working on the earlier draft which is already in the review pipeline. Thank you, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:19, 13 August 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, User:The Belfast Lad/sandbox


Hello, The Belfast Lad. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "sandbox".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 16:55, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
