User talk:Mmegala
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Mmegala, 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:
- Best practices for editors with close associations

- 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
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!

- Hi, unless this is an automatic response, I would like to take you up on that offer to edit/proofread the page.

- I didn't offer to "edit/proofread" the page; I merely explained how it was unsuitable for this site. In case you aren't aware, I, like most people here, am a volunteer, and I would prefer to spend my time on other tasks. You will need to edit the page yourself. When you're done, you can you submit your draft, as explained here. Suffusion of Yellow (talk) 03:40, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
- How very kind of you. I appreciate every minute of your time. Also, I will let you know the automatic responses do suggest someone as knowledgeable and self-sacrificing as yourself has the authority and privilege to do such a thing like proofread.

Your draft article, Draft:Hickory Industries
[edit]
Hello, Mmegala. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Hickory Industries".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted.
