Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Mis.reid, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was User:Mis.reid/sandbox, 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. 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.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to 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! samtar {t} 14:35, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
PLEASE HELP with the revised macduffie article in my sandbox. The old and incorrect information on the MacDuffie School entry needs changes.
Thank you.

- @Mis.reid: you'll need to go to MacDuffie School to make these edits samtar {t} 19:30, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
HELP please Samtar: The updated edits to the existing MacDuffie entry have been added as you recommended. However, I could not get the references inserted correctly. As stated before, the new edit is needed because there have been many changes to the school which the prior short article did not state. Please advise. Thank You.
