User talk:Rayeverett

Welcome

Hello, Rayeverett, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

June 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, discussion pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Talk:Rick Wilson (political consultant), is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Ed6767 talk! 19:07, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed6767! The IP user on 173.85.195.134 appeared to be a banned individual returning as an IP user to evade that and continue with problematic edits. Looking at their continuing contributions, it seems I'm not the only one who encountered problems, and on their User_talk:173.85.195.134 page they pretty much admit as much. Still, I should have provided more documentation in the revert note. I'll bear that in mind. Thanks! Rayeverett (talk) 07:29, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Rayeverett, thanks for letting me know. Ed6767 talk! 11:39, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Rayeverett. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ray Everett, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Ed6767 talk! 19:08, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
