User talk:Elaine McKenna
Welcome![edit]
Hi Elaine McKenna! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.
As you get started, you may find this short tutorial helpful:
Alternatively, the contributing to Wikipedia page covers the same topics.
If you have any questions, we have a friendly space where experienced editors can help you here:
If you are not sure where to help out, you can find a task here:
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
I would recommend staying away from edits adding mentions of yourself into articles. While I didn't revert what you've done so far because it appeared factual, Wikipedia is quite specifically not to be used for promotional purposes and accounts that seem to be only interested in promotion can end up blocked. That said, I hope you find other ways to contribute to the project. Good luck and Happy editing! -- Fyrael (talk) 19:47, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Elaine McKenna. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Deborah Lawrie, 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 or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 22:07, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

- @Blaze The Wolf: how is this message constructive, considering it falsely claims that this user has made edits at Elaine McKenna and they've already received duplicate guidance directly above? -- Fyrael (talk) 17:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
