User talk:Whalls86

Welcome!
Hello, Whalls86, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Mark Parsons, 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

 * 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! — Jeff G. ツ 16:53, 3 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Jeff,
 * I am a friend of Marks, and I am in need of updating his wiki page so it has the right information on it. I was merely updating his badges and then putting a more up to date picture on it, which he provided me with from his allowed source. So there is nothing there that can be of a conflict of interest.
 * Please tell me what I need to do to keep those changes I made already and be able to update the profile picture for Mark as this is something he isnt able to do himself. Whalls86 (talk) 17:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Jeff,
 * Please reply to my message above. I have now seen that Wikipedia have this to say on Mark Parsons page....
 * "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page. (August 2022) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message )"
 * I mean, I updated a couple of badges that he has got a trophy he won. I am hardly a major contributor for starters, but what on earth, would it not be better for someone who knows the person to put the right facts on the page than some random stuff?
 * Please let me know how we correct this and sort this out. Whalls86 (talk) 16:30, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
