Hello, Techlawyer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Clearview AI, 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:

I understand that my proposed edit (addition) to the Clearview AI page was deleted/rejected based on conflict of interest and seek you help. First, I have no relationship whatsoever to Clearview AI or any of it officers, directors or shareholders nor am I getting any payment for the edit that I proposed or from Clearview or anyone else. The Clearview AI page references many citations (articles, comments) on Clearview AI but none of those authors quoted or cited have any hands on experience in using Clearview AI in terms of its end user functionality in the hands of a police officer/criminal investigator. As such I believe that the article that I recently published provides readers with exactly what is missing from the Clearview AI page/discussion - and it was simply my objective to reference that article to provide readers with that perspective. If it is not possible to edit the page to reference myself and the published article, an alternative would be to simply list the article under the See Also section? That would at least allow readers to have access to the article as part of the overall discussion of Clearview AI. Would that be acceptable? Techlawyer ( talk) 02:35, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
