Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Urban Airship, 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.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations

• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

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. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Urban Airship

Hi - a question with relation to your recent editing at Urban Airship - do you have any relationship to the company? Please review the links above carefully, especially the COI and PAID guidelines, the latter of which forms part of the terms of use of this website. Please respond to this point before editing the article further. Thanks GirthSummit _(blether) 12:41, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

yes i am an employee at Airship and there where some updates needed to the page because the company was renamed from "Urban Airship" to "Airship" - can you please review my changes? anything else needed from my side? Michaelwestcity (talk) 13:03, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Michaelwestcity, yes. You need to read, and comply with, the guidance at WP:PAID. You need to formally declare your connection, using the guidance provided there, and you should not edit the article directly, you must restrict yourself to making edit requests. GirthSummit _(blether) 13:19, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Please comply with WP:PAID and request the changes on the talk page of the article. Praxidicae (talk) 13:25, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
