Hello, Johnjeromeoconnor, 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.)

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! ⁓ Hello71 17:26, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to John J. O'Connor (artist) has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 16:58, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored some of the content that was removed; however, I would personally recommend that you refrain from editing your own article. Instead, consider contributing to one of our five million other articles, allowing the community to build your article, letting your work attract people to contribute to your article. However, if you insist on editing it, I would recommend discussing your changes on the talk page as noted in the template. I will be watching both and can help you contribute there if you so desire. ⁓ Hello71 17:39, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I will try that. seemed like the content hadn't changed in years so I thought to embark! I appreciate your help
@Johnjeromeoconnor: When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when. --Drm310 (talk) 17:19, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
