User talk:K123455
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, K123455, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was E. D. Hirsch, 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:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide

- 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

Thank you very much for responding. We are working on a form of verification. We did not place a newspaper announcement. Wouldn’t a marriage certificate work? I could screenshot it. K123455 (talk) 20:52, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- A certificate would not be acceptable unless the public has access to it(which isn't usually the case with vital records, at least immediately), and it's probably not a good idea from a security standpoint to just post an image of one. As you were told at the Teahouse, there are other things you can do. Does your husband have a biography where he mentions you as his wife, such as an official University of Virginia biography? 331dot (talk) 21:01, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
No he was long retired when we married. In terms of his work there’s never a reason to mention me, when he gives talks, gets awards etc. K123455 (talk) 03:58, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
