User talk:Sgordon18

Welcome!

Hello, Sgordon18, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Gulliver Preparatory School, 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.

Hi @Skywatcher68 I work in the marketing department at Gulliver Prep and I created an account to update some outdated information about our school. For instance, we've recently closed our Montgomery and Miller campuses as well as our Executive Offices (EO). In addition, our accreditations have changed, the article's image could be improved and more representative of our K-12 student body, and we would like to remove the section about the age discrimination lawsuit due to it being inaccurate, as well as some other tweaks. Are you able to help me with getting my edits approved? Thanks!

Hello, I figured that you're an employee. Please propose edits at Talk:Gulliver Preparatory School under Template:Edit COI so other editors can decide if your edits are appropriate. Do not edit the article directly without getting approval first. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:07, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Skywatcher68 I submitted my changes via the Template:Edit COI. How long do you think it will it take to be approved and update? Thanks!
