Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Karengibsonroc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! N^oformation ^Talk 07:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from writing autobiographical articles. Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged; if you create such an article, it may be deleted. All edits to articles must conform to our policies on no original research, neutral point of view, and avoid conflicts of interest. Please remember that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a personal webspace provider. If your achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. N^oformation ^Talk 07:48, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

July 2011

Hello Karengibsonroc. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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 following the 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. N^oformation ^Talk 02:09, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Karen Gibson Roc. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Karen Gibson Roc, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. OlYeller^Talktome 18:12, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Karen Gibson Roc, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Saying that the issues have been solved when they haven't been can quickly get you blocked from editing. OlYeller^Talktome 18:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at Karen Gibson Roc, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You are removing more templates than just the COI template. Also, simply editing with another account will not remove the conflict of interest. If you want to continue editing the article, please do so on the talk page. OlYeller^Talktome 18:33, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

COI and Improvement Template Removal

Hi! I wanted to write you a message because all of these template messages can be a little rough sometimes. Currently, you can't really solve the conflict of interest issue until you are no longer editing the page. All that means is using the article's talk page to request edits. You can also use this talk page or my talk page to request edits. Editing the page isn't forbidden but it's strongly discouraged (one of the templates above goes into more depth about how Wikipedia feels about editing your own article). The other tags will have to stay until then. The notability tag is there because the article doesn't clearly establish the notability of the subject of the article according to this guideline. I wouldn't worry too much about that though. The Reference Improvement template just means that there's a lot of information on the page that isn't verified with "reliable sources" but that's also not something to worry about. The tags are to signal other editors to come and improve the page so while they may not be the prettiest thing to look at right now, they'll result in the improvement of the article. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here, my talk page, or the talk page of the article. OlYeller^Talktome 18:42, 27 July 2011 (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 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. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
