Welcome!

Hello, Lesposito20, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Irwin Redlener, 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.

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Hello,

I would like to make the following edits to the main article text. I added in Dr. Redlener's new initiative, the Ukraine Children's Action Project as well as a few other grammar modifications.

Dr. Redlener is co-founder, along with Karen Redlener of the Ukraine Children's Action Project (UCAP), created in May 2022 in response to the massive displacement of children and families consequent of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. UCAP focuses on supporting the educational continuity and mental health support of displaced children in Ukraine and Poland.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you – in future you'll get a faster reply if you post at Talk:Irwin Redlener, where I'll move this and will reply in due course, rather than here. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:36, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Arms & Hearts. I noticed that you recently removed content from Irwin Redlener without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:05, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Irwin Redlener

Please read and adhere to the guidance above on Wikipedia's expectations from editors who have a conflict of interest. Rather than editing the Irwin Redlener article yourself, you should make suggestions and engage in discussion at Talk:Irwin Redlener. If you continue to edit the article directly your changes will probably continue to be reverted, especially if you continue to remove content citing reliable sources and adding material that doesn't cite reliable sources. If you're being paid to edit the article, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with Wikipedia's terms of use. Let me know here or at my talk page if you have any questions. All the best, – Arms & Hearts (talk) 18:31, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

How to disclose properly

Hello. Thanks for letting up know you are what we define as a paid editor (working for the "larger institution" in your own words). You can place a "paid template" on your user page to let everyone know you are being paid for your edits, which you are by our criteria. That could be just a a sentence in plain language, or you can use the template {{paid|employer=ACME|article=Example}}.

For changes to the page you have a conflict with, you should use talk:Irwin Redlener to request those. Any request preceded by this code {{requested edit}} will result in an impartial editor answering your request. Thanks. --- Possibly ☎ 20:34, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
