Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in California Western School of Law, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. The Project link is already used as a reference, which is the preferred manner. S. Rich (talk) 03:41, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Tracy Emblem. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. It is proper to use the url as a reference, but your inline linking in the various articles is promotional and not permitted. Thanks. S. Rich (talk) 04:02, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kahcwsledu. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Your user name suggests a connection with CWSLedu. If this is the case, you must consider and follow Wikipedia policies regarding conflicts of interest. Thanks. S.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Arthur Paul Carmona with this edit. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate may links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 04:30, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

California Innocence Project

Please avoid linking directly to websites. Even though I agree that it is a worth while project, Wikipedia is not the place to promote your cause. Please create a page California Innocence Project and link to that page. From there, you can link to the organization's page. See wp:el and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not Thank you.

Creating a California Innocence Project by Kahcwsledu is fraught with WP:COI. And to answer the question left on my talk page, the redlink exists because there is no California Innocence Project wikipage. With these factors in mind, I highly recommend that you go through the tutorial before engaging on any more article edits. Thanks.--S. Rich (talk) 04:50, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at California Western School of Law, you may be blocked from editing. Seeking to promote your project, even if an admirable one, is not permitted. Adding the in-line link, even after it was reverted and after you received a message about the improper nature of the link, is disruptive. S. Rich (talk) 04:58, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 05:01, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
