Hello, I'm
KRtau16. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article,
Harris Tweed, but you didn't provide a
reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to
include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at
referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

{{Edit request}}
after the heading in the description box, then place what changes you want to be made. Don't forget to add
reliable &
secondary references, or else you're edit request will be declined. An editor who has experience dealing with COI matters will give it a look and make changes if appropriate. The ® symbol should typically not be used on Wikipedia expect if unavoidably required for context, which doesn't seem to be the case here, for more details, see
WP:®. Please also note that your username is not compliant with Wikipedia policies, I'll also leave a note which will guide you on what usernames are acceptable and how to request that change. Thank you! —

06:30, 2 July 2022 (UTC)Hello – I'm Ineffablebookkeeper. I wanted to pop in to say that based on your username, and your (as of now, just the one) edit to the article Harris Tweed, you may have a potential conflict of interest (COI) with its subject matter.
Wikipedia does have rules on what is termed COI editors, chief of which being that any conflict must be declared. You should check out Wikipedia's Plain and simple COI guide, reading through its points thoroughly and following its instructions.
Some COI editors choose not to follow these instructions and continue editing; though many COI editors who actively choose not to declare their conflict of interest think they're being subtle or neutral, undeclared COI editing is obvious. It's a very clear departure from Wikipedia's neutral point-of-view writing style, something that many do not realise or grasp, and it means that their editing efforts come to nothing.
As outlined in the COI guide, editing with a conflict of interest is possible – but guidelines have to be followed. I hope you find it easy to grasp, and if you have any questions, I'd recommend starting a new topic over at WP:TEAHOUSE, where volunteer editors would be happy to help.-- Ineffablebookkeeper ( talk) ({{ ping}} me!) 15:09, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Harristweedauthority", may not comply with our
username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why.
