Welcome!

Hello, 2Liddy2, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Robert Jackson (politician), have removed content without an explanation. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

• Tutorial
• Article wizard for creating new articles
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! JesseRafe (talk) 21:16, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please help me with... My candidate's entry is a total character assassination, and the Primary is the 13th. His info needs to be corrected yesterday. I find so much of the protocols confusing. What is my "signature"? Is it just the tildes? How can I ensure that the old hideous entries are replaced effectively, and that they won't be changed back the minute his opposition discovers the corrections? The entry title needs to be changed -- "politician" is a negative term to a lot of people & has to go -- "activist"is more accurate. Why does Wikipedia allow this to happen?

Hi 2Liddy2. Firstly your signature is created by just adding for tildes to the end of any message ~~~~. I guess the politician whose article you wish to improve is Robert Jackson (politician). The important thing is that content has is supported by a source or a reference, usually shouldn't be deleted as this is a statement made by somebody else and simply reported here on Wikipedia. I hope that this helps to start with , but do dome back if it is all still confusing. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   16:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

The second big issue is that you referred to him as "my candidate". This strongly suggests that you work for this candidate or are part of his team. If this is the case then you have a conflict of interest that must be declared on your user page. It also greatly restricts how you can edit the article about him.

The best path with this is to mention all thoughts at the talk page instead; the user involved is certainly not a troll. SwisterTwister talk 19:10, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

Even a campaign volunteer can fall under the conflict of interest guidelines

Hello, 2Liddy2. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Robert Jackson (politician), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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 take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 17:14, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
