Hello, Perrykake, and welcome to Wikipedia.

== Welcome! == |
|||
Hello, Perrykake, and '''[[Project:Introduction|welcome to Wikipedia]]'''! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/Perrykake|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 [[Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with close associations|conflict of interest]]. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a [[Wikipedia:Tutorial/Keep in mind#Neutral point of view|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 [[Help:Userspace draft|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 [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to provide copies of deleted articles|anyone from this list]] and they will [[Wikipedia:Userfication|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 [[Wikipedia:Username policy#Sharing accounts|be blocked from editing]]. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have [[Wikipedia:Username policy#Promotional names|usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation]]. If you have a username like this, you should [[Wikipedia:Changing username|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 [[meta:Terms of use/FAQ on paid contributions without disclosure|terms of use]] and our [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|policy on paid editing]]. |

Baulderstone / Abigroup
Hi - Thanks for creating these two articles. Please can you ensure that any new projects are properly sourced with citations. Also please note, if you compare with articles for other major contractors, that we list in date order with date of completion. I have added citations to the existing projects and put them into date order. Thanks. Dormskirk (talk) 08:08, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
Hi - I note that you have removed "some that fall below the major threshold". What threshold are you using? Some of these look pretty large. Dormskirk (talk) 00:53, 19 March 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Waste companies established in 1979
A tag has been placed on Category:Waste companies established in 1979 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
