User talk:Femirobinsonjr

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Femi Robinson, 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:

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.

Femi Robinson

Hello. Your username gives the impression that you have a conflict of interest with respect to the article about Femi Robinson. The most important thing for you to understand initially is that Wikipedia relies on editors to cite published reliable sources to verify claims made in articles. Since it appears you are the son of Femi Robinson, you probably know things that are true about him, but those things cannot be in the article unless you can cite published reliable sources to verify them. Unfortunately, any claims you make cannot be used without sourcing. So, for those things you know are true about your father, search on the Internet for reliable sources that verify them. You may find this frustrating, but verification is one of the important policies of Wikipedia.

In addition, you should familiarize yourself with the Manual of Style and the documentation for the {{Infobox person}} template. Those provide guidance on what information is allowed and how it should be formatted. You may have noticed that I have made updates to the article based on that guidance that reverted some of the recent changes you made.

I will add another section below with more information about how you should deal with your conflict of interest.

If you have any questions feel free to ask on my talk page, or at the wp:help desk or the wp:Teahouse. 108.56.139.120 (talk) 20:45, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of Interest

Hello, Femirobinsonjr. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Femi Robinson, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 108.56.139.120 (talk) 20:45, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
