User talk:HattemI1234

Welcome!

Hello, HattemI1234, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Colleen McGuinness, 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.

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Colleen McGuinness, you may be blocked from editing. Please address the matter of the COI; I think it is likely that you are actually a paid editor. Also, reverting and changing without an edit summary is generally frowned upon, and editors are expected to engage in conversation when inquiries are made on their talk page. Thank you.

Hi, I'm just trying to figure out where the promotional issue is coming from so I can write that point in a more neutral voice or find a different source. Any guidance would be helpful. Thank you. HattemI1234 (talk) 18:07, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For one thing, Wikipedia is not a hosting site for resumes. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:12, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The promotional issue is coming from your writing, which was promotional in tone. Drmies (talk) 01:18, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see you have yet to address the matter of the conflict of interest. Please do so in your next edit--thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:19, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
