User talk:Triestea

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Mark Bryant (cartoons), 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.

 * I have tried to send my comments but all I get is 'You are adding your request to a talk page that has no existing article. The page will be deleted shortly by an administrator. Please remember to put the exact article name.' Should I paste the comments in here?

 * Here are my comments again:
 * I am the subject of this Wikipedia page and would like to make some changes please as follows:
 * 1) Entry Title - 'Mark Bryant (Cartoons)' is very misleading as it only describes part of my work. I would prefer it just to say 'Mark Bryant Writer and Editor)' but if it must contain the word 'cartoons' please put 'Mark Bryant (Writer and Cartoon Historian)'. Many thanks.
 * 2) Opening paragraph - please reword as 'Mark Bryant (born 1953) is a British writer, journalist, lecturer and exhibition curator. He is also a historian of cartoons, caricature and humorous illustration. He has been honorary secretary and a vice-president of the British Cartoonists’ Association and secretary and a director of the London Press Club.' Many thanks.
 * 3) Early Life and Family – please add at the end. ‘He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) in 2018.’ Many thanks.
 * 4) Career – Please reword as follows: 'Bryant was an editor in book publishing for 10 years before turning freelance as a writer, journalist, lecturer and exhibition curator. He has written a number of books and articles including many on the history of cartoons, caricature and humorous illustration. A former Secretary and later a Director of the London Press Club, he has also been Honorary Secretary and later an Honorary Vice-President of the British Cartoonists' Association. He is also a former Trustee of the Cartoon Museum. His book, Dictionary of Riddles, was awarded a Special Commendation in the Best Specialist Reference Book 1990 Awards.' Many thanks.
 * 5) Selected Publications – please add UK editions; please add Dictionary of Riddles; please reinstate Simon Heneage as co-author for 1730-1980 dictionary; please delete ‘The’ in title of Napoleonic wars book and give PB ISBN (1910690023) as the HB is OP. Many thanks.
 * 6) References – the encyclopedia.com reference is faulty as it is based on an out-of-date Contemporary Authors entry (e.g. the PO Box no longer exists). I have written to encyclopedia.com and Contemporary Authors to try and correct this and am awaiting a reply. Many thanks.
