User talk:WoolworthsDigital

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was List of Australian mobile virtual network operators‎, 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.

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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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! AntiVan (talk) 23:57, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank-you AntiVan for letting me know these details! I was definitely unaware of the above.

There's just one of me at the moment but I understand the conflict. I was as impartial as possible - simply changing the name on the page and nothing else.

If it's how Wikipedia works I will gladly make a personal account and make the same change.

Thanks again, WoolworthsDigital (talk) 05:42, 5 July 2017 (UTC)


 * No worries. It's totally clear that your edit and your intentions are all good :-) There's a good list of Frequently Asked Questions here dealing with commercial interest in editing, but the very simplified version is that you need to create a different user name, mention on your user page that you are involved with Woolworths, then if you need to make an edit to a Woolworths related page that is possibly promotional or controversial, just start a new section in the talk page for the article saying what change is needed.


 * While is this obviously not the situation with you, I'm sure you can imagine the sort of problems Wikipedia has run into over the years with businesses with a particular point of view to pursue doing their own editing.


 * Cheers, good luck & feel free to contact me if you need. AntiVan (talk) 05:55, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
