Welcome![edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:

Hello, I'm SunDawn. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Disappearance of Lisa Stebic because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. ✠ SunDawn ✠ (contact) 14:59, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Lard Almighty. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Crystal Rogers have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Lard Almighty (talk) 15:41, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Disappearance of Crystal Rogers, you may be blocked from editing. Lard Almighty (talk) 15:44, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Disappearance of Phoenix Coldon. Lard Almighty (talk) 15:45, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. I'd love to chat further about these edits. To my knowledge, I'm simply adding source links to case timeline information, as well as adding sourcing for general statements about a case remaining unsolved.

I would hate to be blocked from editing, so further understanding this would be amazing!

Thank you. CitizenDetective (talk) 15:48, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
