AZ Game & Fish via EP

Welcome!

Hello, AZwildlife800+, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Arizona Game and Fish Department, 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:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to 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! —C.Fred (talk) 20:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the info and welcome! I work for Arizona Game and Fish in the communications section and am hoping to update the page to account for current info (all of which can be cited and most of those citations can be made from external sources). I will research userspace drafts and follow up soon. I am happy to be here and appreciate all the pages and references.

You probably want to tweak your username, unless "800+" is the unique identifier you want to refer to you. WP:Username policy says that users may use organization names in their usernames if there's something else to identify the user, e.g. "User:Lois Lane at the Daily Planet". —C.Fred (talk) 20:37, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestion! I have done so and very much appreciate your time and help. AZwildlife800+ (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 23:56, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

I've noticed you almost got it! However, you've only been signing with three tildes, which only places your username & link to talk page. Adding four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your messages will include the date as well in your signature. (Likewise five tildes renders only the date portion of the signature.) —oscitare (he/him; talk | contribs) 15:13, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the info, help and your patience, oscitare! I appreciate your time and the comments. AZ Game & Fish via EP (talk) 22:52, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
