Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Colin Currie, 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
• 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!

Hi Toddst1,

Thank you for your help in fixing those elements, and for the pointer on the D.O.B.s - I had spent a while looking that up because it was an option in the infobox, but didn't realize that it could be contentious on the privacy law side. I will certainly ensure that I use the drafts function for my next attempt.

p.s. No conflicts here, just trying to make wiki a little better for classical musicians! TruroTrotter (talk) 15:20, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Kevin John Edusei. WP:DOB is one of the more serious aspects of WP:BLP. Toddst1 (talk) 17:21, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi, could you please provide the source for your recent edit changing the established date from 2019 to 2002? Currently cited source only states its existence. Google searches found the earliest mention in 2019. Aithus (talk) 23:58, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Aithus, I can see that this was not correctly cited and the methodology for gaining the accurate date not in keeping with Wikipedia rules. I have now removed the reference to the date completely. TruroTrotter (talk) 16:37, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
