User talk:Mitstartups

Mitstartups contributes and edits articles on entrepreneurship.

Welcome!

Hello, Mitstartups, 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.)

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:

(Mitstartups (talk) 05:30, 18 April 2020 (UTC)) Thank you, Hell in a Bucket. I am a personal user and I was not making the post on behalf of an organization. I appreciate your welcome and your guidance.[reply]

Connection to MIT?

Do you have a connection to MIT? ElKevbo (talk) 20:56, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your question. Yes, I do, as alum. Is this by itself a problem? Shouldn't be, right? Mitstartups (talk) 05:30, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick reply! I think most editors would consider that a relatively minor conflict of interest at most. ElKevbo (talk) 07:01, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
