Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Editing pages related to your employer

Hello and welcome, AshleyK1990. Thank you for being up front about your employment - your transparency will assure other editors that you are editing in good faith. I have a few suggestions that should make your experience here a better one.

1. Please avoid directly editing articles related to your employer. Instead, click the "Talk" tab near the top of the article - that takes you to the article's talk page, a place for discussion about the article's content. On the talk page, you can submit what's referred to as an edit request. This will allow you to propose changes to the content that other uninvolved editors can review. They will either post your changes, or suggest revisions.
2. Please ensure that your changes are supported by citations to sources that Wikipedia considers reliable. These are sources with an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight, as well as editorial independence from the subject being discussed. For obvious reasons, this heavily favours mainstream news organizations and academic press, as well as reputable publishers of newspapers, books and magazines. Trade publications must be evaluated, as they are often written in a promotional tone.
3. Primary sources like your firm's official website can be used to verify basic facts and figures (e.g. names of key personnel, dates of establishment, etc.) but not interpretations of those facts. Other company-authored materials like press releases or interviews with company personnel are unlikely to be accepted. Self-published sources like social media, blogs or message forums are also disqualified.
4. Content must be written from a plainly factual and neutral point of view. There are certain types of wording to be avoided, such as "peacock" (promotional) and "weasel" (vague) terms, among others. If you aren't sure, other editors can offer their opinions on the talk page.

I hope these points of advice help you with your efforts. Best of luck. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:12, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Some comments to respond to

Hi, Ashley! You asked me a while ago to take a look at your draft User:AshleyK1990/swb draft1. I finally had time to look at it, about two weeks ago, and I made some comments directly on the draft page. Please respond there the next time you are on line, and ping me. It just needs a little input from you and I can put those improvements into the article. -- MelanieN (talk) 17:09, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
