Welcome![edit]

Hello, Kristieskunberg, 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.

Please don't reinsert promotional material--and you must declare your conflict of interest. Drmies (talk) 22:09, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest declaration[edit]

Hello, Declaring my conflict of interest. I am a team member of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Kristieskunberg (talk) 22:26, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Drmies :) New to Wikipedia, thanks for your patience. Was trying to add two new board members to the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library page. I am a team member of of the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library which I am declaring/understand is a conflict of interest. Hoping you can review my edits and publish. Thank you!

OK, that's a start. Please see Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#How_to_disclose_a_COI, which tells you how to declare it on your user page. Wikipedia is not a place for listing every detail, like every board member of an organization. Two of them are notable; that's fine. But non-notable ones are, by convention, not listed. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 22:32, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An account in your actual name is going to be associated with you forever (modulo various arcane processes that cannot completely dissassociate you). I suggest that you actually steer clear of your work entirely. Treat editing Wikipedia as something that you would do in hobby time, completely separate from work. We're all volunteers doing stuff for a charity. Treat this as something that you want to be able still do on your own time now and in the future, whatever your job is, and don't endanger it by involving your job.
