In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral]] and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.{{safesubst:<noinclude />#ifeq:{{safesubst:<noinclude />Yesno|{{{newuser|no}}}}}|yes||&#32;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, which will be reviewed by other editors. See [[Help:Userspace draft|our help page on userspace drafts]] for more details. If {{safesubst:<noinclude />#ifeq:{{safesubst:<noinclude />Yesno|{{{newuser|no}}}}}|yes|a|the}} page you create{{safesubst:<noinclude />#ifeq:{{safesubst:<noinclude />Yesno|{{{newuser|no}}}}}|yes|&#32;gets|d 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 [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles|anyone from this list]] and they will [[Wikipedia:Userfication|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 [[Wikipedia:Username policy#Sharing accounts|be blocked from editing]]. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have [[Wikipedia:Username policy#Promotional names|usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation]]. If you have a username like this, you should [[Wikipedia:Changing username|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 [[meta:Terms of use/FAQ on paid contributions without disclosure|terms of use]] and our [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|policy on paid editing]].
