Welcome!
Hello, Lemedistrict, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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 any other 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.
The one firm 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 20:31, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Today, it was brought to my attention that an article to which I have contributed and for whom I work for was vandalized. I have removed the incorrect revision made by user 184.10.156.51 and would like to know what actions can be taken to prevent this from happening again. Lemedistrict (talk) 22:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- You may warn the user, using {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}, and if it continues, up to "4" in place of the one. Copy the text exactly as it appears on the reading screen. Other than that, yu should look at our conflict of interest guidelines, as you're editing an article you're related to. If you have further questions, feel free to ask here. gwickwiretalkediting 22:17, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
