User talk:Ang OLeary

January 2019

Hello, I'm ToBeFree. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Zev Siegl seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:55, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Zev Siegl, 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 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:

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. Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:59, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Citations to follow shortly"

Please provide citations before submitting the finished edit, not afterwards. Alternatively, you may like to create an userspace draft: Help:Userspace draft. Please make sure to adhere to Wikipedia's policies about the neutral point of view and Biographies of living persons. Please keep your obvious, strong conflict of interest in mind when editing, and avoid making statements that may appear to be promotional in any way. To build upon the version that I undid, you may like to click "Edit" at Special:PermanentLink/877447749. Thank you very much in advance. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:03, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
