Welcome! edit
Hello, Halnesbitt, 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.

I completely understand the need for a conflict of interest policy, but my organization is pretty small, and the chances that an outsider would know (and want) to update minor changes are pretty unlikely. Should I always reach out to an editor for help editing this page? Or just try to edit it myself, and watch it, to see if my changes get undone? Also, I need to update our logo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:American_Society_of_Nephrology_Logo.png) with the official version (it is currently the alternate white version), but I don't have the ability to overwrite the file. Can somebody help me, please? The official version is located here: https://www.asn-online.org/images/pages/logos/asn.png

- You should make formal edit requests on the article talk page; if you follow the instructions on that page, it will draw the attention of other editors. You will need independent reliable sources to support your proposed changes, your own organization's website can only be used as a source in certain circumstances, and doing so does not establish notability (see WP:ORG). 331dot (talk) 15:32, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
