Request for unprotection of Adam Weitsman
[edit]Hi there, you just made your first edit to Wikipedia to request the unprotection of Adam Weitsman, and you gave a reason of "contacted by page to edit". I'm not sure what that means. Does that mean you were contacted by Adam Weitsman (or one of his associates) and asked to make edits to this article? If so, are you being paid to make these edits? If any of these are the case, I'd highly advise you to fully read through our guidelines surrounding conflicts of interest. Wikipedia is not a place for publicity agents to write content about their clients. —ScottyWong— 15:38, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
No I am doing this on my own volition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwalsh1022 (talk • contribs)
- Ok, what does "contacted by page to edit" mean? —ScottyWong— 15:48, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- I saw the page. Noticed there are no advertisements and want to fix it. Dwalsh1022 (talk) 15:54, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- Did you intend to fix that problem by adding advertisements to the page? Either way, the page isn't going to be unprotected. Even if it was, if you attempted to inappropriately remove the advertisement banner from the top of the page, remove any sourced negative information on the page, or introduce any overly promotional content to the page, it would be reverted immediately by other editors. So, I'd advise you to not waste your time here, and give your client a refund. —ScottyWong— 15:59, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
- No. There are no advertisements on the page. The banner is misleading. Dwalsh1022 (talk) 16:00, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Dwalsh1022, 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:

- 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!
