Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello, UTLisobel, and welcome to Wikipedia!

An edit that you recently made to Bloomsbury Group seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, please use the sandbox.

Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:
 * Introduction and Getting started
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing 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, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! Aoidh (talk) 15:58, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Also, please do not add Template:Commons category to articles when there is no such commons category. For example this edit added a link to a category on Commons that does not exist. - Aoidh (talk) 16:56, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
 * I have gone through and partially or fully reverted most of your edits because of this issue. Edits like this are especially problematic because neither one of the templates you added actually go to a working category or page. Please do not add the Commons category or Archival records templates without first ensuring that the templates you add actually go to a working page, and that the person described in the article is the same one in the category you're linking to (see here and here for example). - Aoidh (talk) 20:49, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

Conflict of interest and failure to disclose on dozens of edits even after being warned
Hello, UTLisobel. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page E. K. Brown, 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, clients, 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. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  17:03, 8 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Mike - apologies, I'd added my conflict of interest statement to my Wikidata account, hadn't realized they didn't link up!
 * If you're interested, you can take a look at our WikiProject page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_University_of_Toronto_Libraries
 * And if you are curious, you can read about my supervisor who I am doing this work with: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:KelliBee123
