Welcome!
editHello, Blastaar, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Tony Bedard did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.
If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Again, welcome! AntiDionysius (talk) 18:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up, AntiDionysius!
- My real name is Tony Bedard. I'm a comics/games writer and I joined to update the page someone created about me.
- I'm new to this and will try again once I figure out how to provide reliable source links, since I'm guessing you can't just take my word for it that I'm who I say I am. I guess I better do some research on how to provide sources -- I had thought linking to other Wikipedia entries that mention me as writer would do the trick.

Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, Blastaar. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Please keep this in mind as you edit and good luck! -- ferret (talk) 19:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I didn't realize it was a conflict of interest. Sorry!
- Just wanted to update the info, but I'll leave it alone. Blastaar (talk) 21:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
