User talk:Sports1957
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Sports1957, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jimmy O'Hara, 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:

Hi Jeff G.
I do not believe I have a conflict of interest. I am not nor do I work for or represent the subject of the article. I have or will cite authority for every statement made. Moreover, I will send future edits on this subject to you for pre-approval if that is okay. Thank you again!

- @Sports1957: No, please put them in a new section at the bottom of Talk:Jimmy O'Hara. Did you start section c:COM:FILTERT#Report by 24.237.106.78? Also, your recent talk page comments were not added to the bottom of the page. New discussion page messages and topics should always be added to the bottom. Your messages have both been moved. In the future you can use the "New section" link in the top right. For more details see the talk page guidelines. — Jeff G. ツ 03:02, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
