User talk:ElectricLyn2
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, ElectricLyn2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Frank Tossas, 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:

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

Frank Tossas
[edit]Hi ElectricLyn2, welcome, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. As you may note from the message above, we ask people who are personally connected to the subject of an article not to directly edit that article. Since you've said that Frank Tossas is your father, you're welcome to participate further on the article's talk page, and to make suggestions there. Any information that goes into the article must be verifiable in a published, reliable source. Unfortunately, we are not able to accept any information that you know only from your personal relationship, that is not published somewhere like a newspaper or book. Thanks for your understanding. One more thing, if someone reverts your edits, you should try not to take it personally, and to discuss with them the reasons for it on the talk page. Please see WP:BRD, thanks. --IamNotU (talk) 11:23, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
