Welcome![edit]
Hello, Luke Dodd, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Internal communications, 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 any other 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 firm 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.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of 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!

Thanks MrBill, i will take your advice and draft a revised article before submission and ask you to proofread if that's ok? I think the research on the Internal Communications page could be a lot more robust, so will aim to solely provide unbiased improvements to the content.

- Greetings, just a reminder to declare COI on the talk page. In my opinion everyone has some bias and I don't have a problem with that, just do your best to follow policy on WP and you'll be fine. I look forward to the improvements you can make as a knowledgeable contributor on the subject (or expert even). The most important guideline (again in my opinion) is WP:RS if you temper your bias with WP:DUE the article should come together swimmingly. I hope you enjoy editing and I encourage you to do some work on a variety of articles. Best. - - MrBill3 (talk) 11:48, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
