User talk:FLazare9639
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, FLazare9639, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:
- 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 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! ThatMontrealIP (talk) 03:33, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Destructive edits
[edit]Please stop the destructive editing on Harry Dodge, as I explained to you in our conversation at my talk page. You may think you know best, but your edits are violating a lot of established Wikipedia policies. We don't remove good valid sourced material in the way you have been doing. We do not destroy referencing styles that have been established. I'm going to leave you a formal warning next. Since you have ignored earlier requests to stop and learn how to edit properly, the warning is necessary here and ignoring it can lead to being blocked form editing. As I said on my talk page, everyone is welcome to edit WP, but you can't do it in a way that destroys established work.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 08:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

[edit]Please stop your disruptive editing.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 08:06, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
Refill
[edit]Thanks for your edit to Harry Dodge. I made a few minor improvements. One thing you might try, which is easier and improves reference consistency, is to simply place the URL for the reference inside the reference brackets. Save the page, then run "Refill" at this page, or enable the citations tool/gadget in your account preferences (click this link to go to your preferences, then enable editing > "citations expander").
We do have a particular way of doing things, and I thank you for conforming to our methods. The refs you added were mostly very good. Primary sources like gallery listings are OK to confirm facts, but if a secondary review is available it is always preferred. See WP:RS for more on references.
