Welcome!

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

I noticed 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 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, 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).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• 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! —C.Fred (talk) 02:18, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

Paid editing

Hello Ralph. In this edit in the edit summary, you stated that "No one has been paid to create or edit this article. After thoroughly reviewing the edit history I do not know any of these editors." Unfortunately, there is proof that contradicts this assertion.

There is off-wiki evidence that links one of the editors of your article to a public relations firm that either has - or had - you as its client. I cannot disclose that information here because of Wikipedia's policy on WP:OUTING. Another editor voluntarily disclosed that you are - or were - a client here, without revealing the name of the company they worked for.

While you are not responsible for their conduct, they are both in violation of Wikipedia's mandatory paid-contribution disclosure policy. It appears that both accounts have become stale, but should either of them resume editing your article, they would be compelled to disclose any paid relationship they have with you.

In addition, it is highly inadvisable that you make edits directly to an article about yourself. Please review Wikipedia's guideline on autobiographies, and make use of the article talk page to request changes. Thank you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 08:54, 9 September 2018 (UTC)
