Welcome!

Hello, Justinawha, 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:

• 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!

Sanbox article

I have created an article in the Sandbox space and I'm now wondering if I should've done it in the userspace drafts? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Justinawha/sandbox

New link: Draft:Whatagraph

Hi Justinawha, that was a userspace draft. I have moved it to our main "Draft" namespace now, however. Of all the points in the above "conflict of interest" explanation message, the "userspace draft" point is the least important in this case, since you have already created a draft. What should follow is a disclosure of your connection to the company, at User:Justinawha, and a clarification whether you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia. Afterwards, feel free to submit your draft for review by clicking the blue "Submit your draft for review!" button above the draft. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 14:30, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

COI disclosure: Should employment be disclosed in the "U1-otherlinks=(Optional) Insert relevant affiliations, disclosures, article drafts or diffs showing COI contributions" section? Can it be done as a URL to the website?

Hi Justinawha, thank you very much for taking the time to do this. You are not required to use that template; feel free to write a text that contains all the relevant information (who is paying you to edit (your "employer"), who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship^[WP:PAID]). I'm keeping this help request open in case someone formally wants to answer the template-related question. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 15:19, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

"Employment" is a special kind of conflict of interest and requires disclosure of specific information beyond the mere existence of a conflict of interest, as mentioned by ToBeFree. You can use the U1-otherlinks= parameter on the draft's talk page to disclose employer, client (if different from employer) and other relevant information, or you can take a look at Template:Paid which has code you can copy-paste to your user page and fill out; that would also work. A link to the company employing you isn't be required but might help if the company has a very generic name and there might be confusion regarding which company you actually work for (for example, I recently looked up "CCC Consultants" and found that there are multiple organizations by that name - merely stating "I work for CCC Consultants" could be ambiguous).

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Whatagraph

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Whatagraph, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. DGG ( talk ) 22:45, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
