Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.(Zaxby (talk) 23:26, 20 August 2009 (UTC))

NTFS‎

Thank you for your addition to NTFS‎. Would you mind rewriting it so that it is not a how-to, perhaps by discussing advantages and disadvantages. Thanks! —EncMstr (talk) 15:24, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Welcome, and thank you for your attempt to lighten up Wikipedia. However, this is an encyclopedia and the articles are intended to be serious, so please don't make joke edits, as you did to Natural-born-citizen clause. Readers looking for accurate information will not find them amusing. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you are given a good deal of freedom in what you write. — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 22:25, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Potential conflict of interest

I have noticed that you have recently been editing articles citing a company which was set up by Leo Trottier. Is this a relation of yours? If so, you may have a conflict of interest which you will need to declare. DrChrissy ^(talk) 16:25, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Declaration of Interest

I am the father of Leo Trottier, founder of CleverPet, so I have more knowledge than most of CleverPet.

I have no financial interest in Cleverpet Inc.

((UserboxCOI|1=CleverPet Inc))

((UserboxCOI|1=dog training))

((UserboxCOI|1=dog intelligence))

((UserboxCOI|1=animal cognition))

((UserboxCOI|1=animal training))

Tom, conflict of interest on WP is not only about financial interests. I suggest you read WP:COI where the opening sentence is Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial or other relationships. All the best. DrChrissy ^(talk) 16:15, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
