Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Thanks for openly disclosing your professional affiliations. While I see you have placed a {{connected contributor (paid)}} template on this page, this is not the appropriate place for it.

1. The {{connected contributor (paid)}} goes on the talk page of each specific article/draft you edit/create on behalf of your employer.
2. The {{paid}} template goes on your userpage (User:Ed18m8c) as a general disclosure. There are different variations of this template that you can choose from.

Thanks and best of luck. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:42, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the advise! The collection of links are very helpful. I have added {{paid}} template to my profile and removed {{connected contributor (paid)}} from this page. I will make sure to post {{connected contributor (paid)}} on anything I'm paid to edit/create. Thanks again, Ed18m8c (talk) 11:07, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
