Michael Echanis
Mr Walker, Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for helping flesh out the Echanis piece. We may need to trim some of it down for encyclopedia summary style and we will definitely need more sources. I can help with the source formatting if you can provide the following for magazines: author, title, year, volume, issue, page, etc and the same for books to include the isbn. I learned a great deal from Michael's books when I was a budding martial artist, myself. The Al Mar Warrior is one of my favorite knives and I am planning a wiki article on that in the future. Feel free to hit me up if you need any help, tips or advice. You may want to join the Cutlery project on here. I have used your Battle Blades book and older FK articles on quite a few of the knife articles. Best regards--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 18:03, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Michael Echanis, 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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! – S. Rich (talk) 21:30, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
