User talk:Wordley

I've been asked by several clients to update existing Wikipedia page and in some cases, add new ones if they don't yet exist. I have read a lot of background info but am still sensitive about running afoul of Wikipedia rules and regs. Can someone help me get started in good standing? --Wordley (talk) 19:37, 1 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you for asking first. Please review the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy; you must declare any conflict of interest you might have, and Wikipedia's Terms of Use require you to declare if you are being paid for your edits and who is paying you. It is strongly advised that you not directly edit in the area of your conflict of interest; to suggest changes to existing articles, you may make edit requests on the article talk page.  To create a new article, you may use Articles for Creation to create and submit a draft for an independent review.
 * Please understand that Wikipedia is not interested in what an article subject wants to say about themselves, or what they might want their article to say. Wikipedia is interested in what independent reliable sources state about article subjects. Input by the subject (or their representative) is welcome, but it is treated the same as that of any other editor.
 * A new article can only be created if the subject meets Wikipedia's special definition of notability. Certain areas have more specific criteria, like musicians, businesses, and so on. I would also suggest that you read Your First Article and use the new user tutorial to learn more about Wikipedia and how it works. Quite frankly, you should be aware that many editors do not look well upon paid edits, as the vast majority of people here are volunteers giving their time to build this collection of human knowledge. As such, your edits should you choose to make them will likely be looked at closely. I only say this to encourage you to be as open about any conflicts of interest as you can be. 331dot (talk) 19:55, 1 July 2019 (UTC)


 * If you have further questions, you may ask them in the same manner as your last one, or you may visit the Teahouse. 331dot (talk) 19:58, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Help me!
My username is red and I don't know what I've done. :(

 * That only means you have not created a user page for yourself. It's not required that you have one, many users have been here years and never create one; some redirect it to their user talk page. If you want to tell the Wikipedia community a little about yourself in the context of your Wikipedia use, feel free. You may read WP:USERPAGE for information about user pages. 331dot (talk) 20:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
