User talk:Inittowin

Welcome!

Hello, Inittowin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Karen Stintz mayoral campaign, 2014, 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. 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 Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question.

Editing on Karen Stintz mayoral campaign

Hey, there! Thanks for your note. And thank you for using the Talk: page to explain your edits. That helps a lot in terms of collaboration in building a better encyclopedia. Similarly, edit summaries are really helpful to explain each individual edit along the way. I've moved your message to the article Talk: page since it deals directly with the content of that page and your edits there. Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you don't have a conflict of interest in your editing. However I would recommend you check out this essay on single-purpose accounts, and I encourage you to get involved in other parts of the encyclopedia. And, finally, you should check out the Wikipedia policy on edit warring (basically, once there's a disagreement over content, you shouldn't try to re-insert it until you've discussed it with the other party on the Talk: page). Cheers, -- Irn (talk) 15:43, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
