Happy editing! I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 21:13, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you! I am learning the tools as I go along but so far, most are pretty dang easy to use! I LOVE the visual editor. While I have to edit the source on occasion, I can do about 98% of what I need through the source editor. I have also been learning more about references and have been adding them wherever I can to validate what is said in the wiki (and have removed some things when I couldn't validate them). Thanks for your help and I will definitely look at the two places you mentioned! Mark Mark (daschent) (talk) 21:20, 11 May 2023 (UTC)

Conflict of interest editing
[edit] Hello, Mark (daschent). We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Jordan Schmidt, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 09:00, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
