Welcome!

Hello, Oakknoll11, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Vivienne Ming, 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.)

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.

Hello BrownHairedGirl!

I hope this message finds you well!

I see you may have reservations with my edits to this page. I'd love to clarify what you feel may not appropriate, in the meantime please find the rationale for my edits/ interventions below:

· Sincere apologies for not following the protocol...this is my first experience working with collaborators on Wikipedia;

· I have no affiliation with V. Ming with regards to: financial; employment; contractual agreement; friendship; a colleague in any way or enterprise;

· I'm covering AI advancements and people I feel are leaders coming from the Bay Area (I also reside in the Bay Area);

· My intervention is solely based on the premise to increase a knowledge base to a wider group and add information as a credible reference provider.

· My research comes solely from Google, attending conferences, academia and AI networks in the SF Bay Area.

I would be happy to hear from you and how we can best collaborate!

Thanks so much and looking forward to hearing from you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oakknoll11 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi Oakknoll11

I am happy to accept your assurance that you have no conflict of interest (COI) in relation to Vivienne Ming.

However, your editing looked very like the pattern we see repeatedly with editors who do have a COI. The version you created[2]] included the use of an overly promotional tone, with and had a structure and formatting which looks like it was copied from somewhere else.

I am going to post a std welcome message below, with a lot of links about how Wikipedia works. Please see also WP:MOSBIO and WP:CITE.

Hope this helps. --23:05, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
