Welcome!
Hello, JacksonTC90, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was 2017 British and Irish Lions tour to New Zealand, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Lions images
There is a discussion underway at Talk:2017_British_and_Irish_Lions_tour_to_New_Zealand#Infobox image about which logo to use. Please do not change the image until a cnsensus has been agreed on that page. Doing so could be viewed as disruptive. CalzGuy (talk) 12:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- Hi. You may be right, but we need to have some proof what you are saying is true. We can't just take your word for it. Plus the image you have is a CMYK image, generally used in print media. We need to have an RGB version. Can you please engage on the talk page. It's not just me who is concerned. CalzGuy (talk) 12:56, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
- Agreed. There are two concerns with the image. The first is making sure that the Lions are willing to give this image away for any use, including commercial reuse. Creative Commons means there are no copyright concerns with reusing or adapting the image. The second is the quality of the image: it is a CMYK image and is, well, pixellated. The fair-use vector image (.svg format) does not suffer from that problem when scaled. —C.Fred (talk) 14:27, 11 May 2017 (UTC)
