User talk:Jnuwame

Welcome!

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

I notice 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thank you.

Hi SarahStierch, thank you very much for your offer of assistance, and for the additional guidance on Wikipedia as a new editor. I will be sure to join the Teahouse, as well. As you will see, I disclose my COI on all of my communication, including on my User Page, in that I work for Manulife in a communications capacity, and from time to time engage with the Wikipedia community to discuss or request edits to articles that are related to my employer.

In terms of addressing the recent changes I’ve requested to the History section of Manulife Financial’s entry via the Talk page, I would very much appreciate the opportunity to connect with you directly on these – would you be willing to review a draft of the History section, complete with references cited, if I were to send it directly to you? Please let me know if you have an email address that I might send this to, in a Word document format, or if you can suggest a better course of action.

As I am a new editor within the Wikipedia community, I’m deliberately cautious with using the tools, at the risk of potentially doing it incorrectly – I would like to become more comfortable with the Userspace Drafts tools you mentioned, but in the meantime as above, I am hoping you can provide further assistance with my latest draft of the History section.

If you could please advise as to best next steps, I would very much appreciate it. Many thanks, Jnuwame (talk) 21:06, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! Jnuwame, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us!

I, and the rest of the hosts, would be more than happy to answer any questions you have! SarahStierch (talk) 17:29, 8 December 2013 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jnuwame. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Manulife, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. User talk:Wilipino Widefox; talk 13:15, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

March 2018

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( in the enhanced toolbar, or if you use the old "classic" toolbar) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:35, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
