There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Lornadot. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- 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. Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 09:56, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Lornadot!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:25, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

- Hello DoubleGrazing and many thanks for your reply to the Andrew Wallas article. I could really use your help. Obviously, I can remove the offending sources as described above but more importantly, I did understand that I needed to declare an interest and I think that I needed to place this code -
somewhere, but I just couldn't work out where to put it. I want to be really transparent... I do work for Andrew Wallas and he asked me to put the page together, but I just don't know how/where to declare this. Other than these issues, is there anything else I need to do... I would really welcome your advice as I am finding the Wikipedia advice pages pretty complicated! Thank you in advance Lornadot (talk) 09:58, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

February 2024[edit]
As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Draft:Andrew Wallas, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Lornadot, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Lornadot|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. This additionally refers to Anna Pasternak. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 16:28, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you DoubleGrazing. I have added the citation you suggested to the form - at least I think it is in the correct place, but please let me know if it isn't?! With regard to Anna Pasternak - I thought I had taken care of this as I had communication with a Wiki editor who told me to include
on the talk page which I did and the editor even went in and checked it for me and let me know it was correct so I don't know why or where it had disappeared to! Would you please check that I have added the correct information to the correct place before proceeding any further with this article? I greatly appreciate your knowledge and experience with this as I am still finding my way around Wikipedia. Thank you.
