Welcome!

Hi Baalmediacoordinator! Thanks for your post on the linguistics wikiproject talk page. You mentioned that there are some edits you'd like made to British Association for Applied Linguistics, and I'd be happy to help you with those. I may not be able to respond quickly all the time, but you can always make an edit request at Talk:British Association for Applied Linguistics detailing what changes you would like made. If you add the template {{Request edit}} right above your proposed edits, someone will come around to review and add them. If you get stuck, you can ping me by adding {{ping|Wugapodes}} ~~~~ to a talk page, or you can add {{Help me}} to your talk page and another user will be around to help when they can. Anyway, enough technical stuff for right now, what can I help you out with? Wug·a·po·des 06:16, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:

How to edit a page and How to develop articles
How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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!

Special:GlobalRenameRequest lets you easily submit a rename request. The COI policies may seem like a lot at first, but as Nardog and I mentioned, if you have trouble or questions you can talk to us or place the helpme template and we can explain anything that's not clear.
