User talk:Jessicahpellien
Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Jessicahpellien, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was MIT Press, 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:

- Thank you! I didn't know there was a chat window. Thank you for the feedback regarding the MIT Press. I do work there and made edits that were factual as far as I know -- I think it was updates to some of our recent books and maybe some info about our 60th anniversary. I'll have a look and attempt a draft if there is an issue. Also, I am the only person who is using this account. As I work at the MIT Press - How do I disclose my employer? Happy to comply with the rules here, and am not planning to make any edits that are not objective and factual. Jessicahpellien (talk) 17:12, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- I just updated the MIT Press page, and I am not sure how to save it as a draft. That option did not appear to be available to me. Can you advise on how to do this better? My changes were intended to remove an adjective ("robust") that might have been interpreted as laudatory, and to indicate a quoted section of text that felt like it would be good to acknowledge is directly from the Fund for Diverse Voices. Hopefully this is OK and more in line with the content requirements of the Wiki page. @Dr.Swag Lord, Ph.d Jessicahpellien (talk) 17:20, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hello @Jessicahpellien and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "save it as a draft". The MIT Press is already a published article. Are you attempting to save/publish an edit you made? Please thoroughly read over WP:PLAINSIMPLECOI along with WP:PAID, which tells you how you can disclose your employer. Thank you!
