Information icon Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to FMC Technologies. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, LAdams08, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was FMC Technologies, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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!

Help me!

[edit]

Please help me with...disclosing a conflict of interest about updating my company's Wikipedia page. It's inaccurate and I need to update it. I also need help retrieving the work I've done so far. I spent a lot of time on it (unfortunately doing it within Wikipedia since I was unfamiliar with how to edit in the space). My content was pulled down without contacting me first or checking on the facts and I don't understand why. It seems an editor wanted to pull it down without checking facts first.
