Welcome!
editHello, SkyyaPR, 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, 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

- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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!

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "SkyyaPR", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it's a business name. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

Hi there. Thank you for the notification. In response to your helpful comments, please review the following. I am the only person on this username - I will change my username. I do not expect to receive funds for my edits at this point. The information that I asked to correct - are based upon pure facts and I am neutral on the subject. I provided links to ZeroFox's source grant. I do "some" work across government sectors - my expertise is autonomous and electric vehicles. What I have observed in the past, and true also with the ZeroFox page - is that the citation are incorrect when it comes to government contracts. Once a any US federal contract is approved, it usually takes 3-6 months for the transition. NO one secures a government contract and within 30 days it goes live - especially in cybersecurity. The reporter/publication that initially stated the ZeroFox technology was installed - and let the FBI weak - was later redacted with a statement. I left language and the link to the US Federal grant award and process as proof to the timelines. So when Jan 6th happened ZeroFox technology had yet to be installed across the FBI system. All I wanted was to correct a incorrect sourced citation. The public relations firm does have ZeroFox as client - but to me, this is not a conflict if we are corrected the data. I would like to continue to contribute and strengthen the power of WIKI as a resource with credible information. That said, if I am not allowed to correct this - who can/is? THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!

Courtesy ping: Cabayi, who also commented here specifically on your name and is an administrator, and may have more guidance. Happy Editing--IAmChaos 16:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- "The public relations firm does have ZeroFox as client" - is a paid conflict of interest under Wikipedia's policies. The WMF's terms-of-use require you to declare this coi. The welcome note left by IAmChaos guides you to that process.
- "I do not expect to receive funds for my edits" - ZeroFox pays Skyya. Skyya pays you.
- "if I am not allowed to correct this - who can" - you can request changes using the Edit Request Wizard. You are free to edit articles directly on subjects where you and your employer have no connection.
