A belated welcome!

[edit]
Sorry for the belated welcome, but the cookies are still warm!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, TipitinasInChitown. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Aristophanes68 (talk) 05:35, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Healthcare and Life Sciences in Chicago requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.94westbound.com/chicagoland-healthcare-innovators-directory/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 03:04, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Justlettersandnumbers. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Healthcare and Life Sciences in Chicago have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:20, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello TipitianasInChitown. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Healthcare and Life Sciences in Chicago, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:TipitianasInChitown. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=TipitianasInChitown|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:21, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi User:Justlettersandnumbers, thanks for the guidance. I added this information to the user page for User:TipitianasInChitown. What do I need to do now to recover my work, since it looks to have been deleted in the interim. (Also, how do I found out why it was deleted?)

The article was removed because it was a collection of promotionally-worded blurbs copied from the websites of the listed organizations.— Diannaa (talk) 11:13, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Diannaa - If I remove the 2nd column from each of the tables that had the descriptions of the organizations, would the page then be OK? Also, how can I get access to the work I did b/c it's my only copy and I have many many hours of work in there that I'd hate to lose! (I assume that User:Diannaa and User:Justlettersandnumbers and User:Nkon21 are working in coordiantion on this?) Thanks for your guidance. I'm eager to make a valuable, unique and quality contribution here with this content! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.56.17.0 (talk) 01:49, 31 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
