User talk:Trq4xt
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Trq4xt, 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.

Quick question
[edit]I noticed your edits to Danielle Citron and wanted to mention that the "works in progess" list is completely unsourced. I also wanted to ask if you have a personal connection to the subject of the article. Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 19:15, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I apologize for not including the source for the works in progress, which is https://www.law.virginia.edu/faculty/profile/uqg7tt/2964150?section=publications
- Additionally, my connection is that I am a student at the university she teaches at, and am just updating her work Trq4xt (talk) 18:37, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
- Heya, cheers for clarifying. I do suggest you read the articles on conflicts of interest, and make an edit request (i can link the edit request wizard if you like). I got suspicious because I found out that this username was linked to the school. You're not in trouble or anything, I'd just advise you to declare any possible conflicts of interest you may have on your userpage (this is your talk page). Sorry if i freaked you out or anything, I really didn't need to warn you twice. Happy editing! Cmrc23 ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ 18:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, Trq4xt. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Danielle Citron, 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), including links or details of reliable sources that support 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I have a strong suspicion that you are connected to the subject of this article. I have reverted your edits, and would like you to make an edit request next time you want to make an edit to an area you might be personally related to. Please review our policies.
