User talk:UFSoutreach

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Global Forecast System, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * 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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! A S U K I T E  18:11, 16 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello: I represent the Unified Forecast System (UFS) community, a broad membership scientific group that works to develop the UFS in partnership with NOAA. I have added the mentioned content as an update to the GFS status, pointing to the official NOAA site that carries that information. My contribution is an important update to the data on GFS, and open an avenue for further informing the public about the existence of the UFS, and further opportunities for community engagement. Would you be able to provide direct guidance on making sure our suggested content editions are accepted? Thank you. UFSoutreach (talk) 18:20, 16 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello there, welcome to Wikipedia. Please read the plain and simple conflict of interest guide as it should answer most of your questions. In general it would be best to suggest changes at a page's talk page, rather than directly making changes on the page itself, as that allows other editors to judge whether it's an acceptable inclusion or not before having the edit go live. (Your previous edits are still live, by the way; I don't see anything wrong with them but that is just my opinion, of course.) You can request an edit using this template: Template:Request edit, but please note that responses may take a while. If there is something more urgent, you may also consider creating a post at the Teahouse and editors can help you with your questions there.
 * Second part: currently your username represents (or implies to represent) an organization. This contravenes Wikipedia policy, which generally only allows usernames that clearly indicate the account is run by a single person. I will quote the relevant part from the above message:
 * Once you've changed your username you should be good to go; fairly uncontroversial edits like fixing typos and whatnot should be fine, but anything more substantial should be discussed at the talk page first. Again, if you have any questions about this whole process (which is admittedly a bit of an ordeal), please leave one at the Teahouse, as many editors watch that page and will answer any questions you have. Thank you for your contributions; topics like these tend to be overlooked in the grand scheme of Wikipedia editing. Hopefully the editing process won't be very troublesome for you from now on.
