Welcome![edit]
Hi Mike 4022, I'm Encoded and I've been assigned as your mentor. Welcome to Wikipedia!
About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here.
You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. I recommend that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier. If you need help using Wikipedia you can send me a message on my talk page, use the help button or ask at the Teahouse, a friendly newcomer helpdesk. The welcome page also contains an array of resources that you may find useful.
Here's also some pages that I found helpful whilst starting out:
If you need assistance with anything, have any questions, or just want to say hello please feel free to send me a message, I'm always happy to help :) Encoded Talk to me! 13:47, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

- Dear ElKevbo/Encoded,
- Yes. We are just trying to update the Wikipedia page of University Kentucky with some recently published important information, if that is convenient and possible.
- Please let me know if you have any sugegstions. If you kindly help me with those, that would be helpful as well.
- Thanks

Hello, Mike 4022. 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 article subjects 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. ElKevbo (talk) 16:24, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
