Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Draft:Neville Farmer, 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, 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.

Hi. The article is so problematic that I moved it to draft space. Please add reliable secondary sources, not promotional or video links. Thank you. Drmies ( talk) 21:11, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

I am trying to update the Wiki page for Neville Farmer (who I most assuredly am not) and am very new to all this and am struggling with the manual coding of the page. I see your comments about various things I have added in the past day but have no idea how to get the site back online. Can you just undo everything to take it back to where it last was? 71.105.204.124 ( talk) 21:17, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
So what I'm hearing is that yes, there is a kind of a conflict of interest, even though you claim it's minor. It's not a big deal but you just need to acknowledge it in the way it's outlined in the policy, but I can't tell whether you read that policy. As for the article, or now the draft, it was terrible to begin with, and it's going to take serious work to get it right: it needs reliable secondary sources, as was recognized in 2020 already.
