Welcome!
editHello, Willop357, 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.

Conflict of Interest with Draft:Adira's Dream
editYour userpage indicates you are the director of this film. As such, you need to make sure to make the proper disclosures in accordance with WP:COI and WP:PAID. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:52, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
- Hello! Thank you for your message. You're absolutely right - I do have a conflict of interest in regards to this film as I am the director of it. However I would like for information about it to be out there but since I don't know any Wikipedians I had to do it myself and hope someone kind would reach out to help. I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to using the platform as an editor - would it be at all possible for you to proof it? Please rewrite where you see fit. I've tried to cover as many links to the project as are currently available. The film is not yet released but will be premiering at Madrid International Film Festival in August 2019, where it is nominated for best sound design and for best story. Their website should have all the details (just to prove this is a real and credible project! Willop357 (talk) 11:47, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you for the message on my talk page. Let's keep the discussion here on your talk page since it was started here. I hear everything you are saying but you still have not addressed the required disclosures per the guidelines for COI and PAID. If you can look through those and make the disclosures, I will be more than happy to assist you further. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:32, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
- Okay - I had a look at those two articles. Have I done the COI right? Do I need to attach this declaration to the article itself? In terms of PAID - I've not been paid to write the article, but considering my involvement with the project do I still need to make this declaration? Apologies for the annoying questions and thanks for your help! On another point - I tried to upload the poster for the film in the table, it was flagged as a breach of copyright. I own all the copyrights - how do we get around this issue? Willop357 (talk) 10:22, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry, Willop357. Without a WP:PING, I wouldn't know you replied. First, thanks for the disclosure. I moved it to your userpage. For the images, there is no "get[ting] around [the] issue." Copyright is what it is. If you want to release them under a Creative Commons license, you are free to do so and upload it to Wikimedia Commons. If not, you can wait until there is a live article on the topic and upload it under WP:FAIRUSE. I also see the draft is in the queue for review. Please be patient as there are over 4,000 drafts waiting to be reviewed at this time. --CNMall41 (talk) 05:14, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
