User talk:Williamhwill

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was William Henry Acord Williams, 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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The 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! Aspening (talk) 13:42, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I am not sure if I am doing this correctly, but this is an attempt to message with you about the issues that you sent me a message about. I am not sure if that is just an auto message or was somehow triggered by something that I did, but I did not create the page William Henry Acord Williams (it is about me though). I was just attempting to provide additional information to the page. I was going to add links to social accounts and images and things that will give a more comprehensive picture of who I am. All I really so far was add a link to my instagram profile and I also planned on adding links to one or more apps that I created and some images.

Is there an email or chat that we can talk?

Please excuse any mistakes that I have made in the past or during this transmission. Wikipedia is very confusing.

 * To notify a particular editor - see Notifications. To call Aspening one could use , and the edit must be signed with the 4 tildes, or the ping does not work. Ron h jones (Talk) 00:47, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi there William. Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm not who left you the original message but I will try to help. In general we limit the amount of links to social media and other outside websites. The important thing is to add references to your article from reliable sources. You might be interested in a help article on your first article. Finally, if you want live help there's a public chatroom on IRC that you can get to by clicking here. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:49, 24 August 2018 (UTC)


 * That message is just a generic message that can be sent to new editors who may have a conflict of interest. I really don't like how it presumes that the person created the article, because that's not necessarily the case. Sorry about that! Aspening (talk) 00:51, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
