Welcome!

[edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Ten Junk Miles, 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:

A follow up note - I'm sure you simply mistakenly removed the maintenance templates when you removed the PROD template - just wanted to make sure you were aware of that. Thanks! Jmertel23 (talk) 20:03, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for correcting my mistake. Regarding the editing and creation of the Ten Junk Miles article, I do not have a conflict of interest regarding that article. I have not done a lot of editing recently, but I do understand the importance of maintaining the rules of wikipedia, and support the process of verifying that an article belongs on wikipedia. I simply was wishing to contribute and found something that I felt merited inclusion in wikipedia. I do appreciate your input and concern though. Jkiffmeyer (talk) 21:11, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Arrowhead 135

[edit]

If you create it in the AFC queue, you can't just move it into articlespace yourself two days later. As a new editor, you need to submit it through the WP:AFC process for review — it will be moved into mainspace by the reviewer if and when it's accepted, and you can't just make the decision that it's ready for mainspace yourself.

[edit]
Arrowhead 135, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!
