Hello, Leo fitzmaurice, 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 any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Hi Andy that's is great I will send some material and pass it on to you. The page, as it is, does not really cover very much of what I do as an artist so I would like it to be more representational. I changed the tag line to be a more general description of my work rather than referring to a particular type of my work.

Anyway I will pass it on and you can see what you think.

Best wishes Leo PS I would also like to add a photo.

A photo would be great, so, long as the copyright holder (usually whoever took it) is happy to release it under an open licence. For the rest, we need citations to reliable sources, such as (independent) press coverage (i.e. not just repeating press releases). Also, don't forget that you can "sign" messages on your talk page using "~~~~" Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:53, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All best wishes Leo
