User talk:Lbm user2015

Welcome!

Hello, Lbm user2015, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Louise Blouin Media, which 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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!

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Lbm user2015. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Louise Blouin Media, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:13, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

You've declared your paid relationship to Louise Blouin Media on my talk page. Please now add a suitable declaration to your user page, User:Lbm user2015. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from directly editing affected articles. In practice, that discouragement often takes the form of immediate reversion of any edits they make.

Did you read this? You don't seem to have acted on it. You've also made edit requests (good!) without declaring your paid status (bad!). Please read and understand Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure – it applies to you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:45, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
