User talk:Ericorlando

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you mentioned was Clotilda (slave ship), 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.

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:

Thanks, Andy. I am not the subject of the topic, nor work for it, nor represent it. My account is solely mine, and doesn't belong to a company or corporation.

I am a retired journalist who has spent time researching the subject of the Clotilda and want to improve the site. Ericorlando (talk) 16:50, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
