User pages

Please note that user pages have limited uses - writing your own biography is not one of them. The use of {{infobox person}} is also something for use in mainspace - not user pages. If you are considering drafting a page about yourself, note that that is a conflict of interest and is inappropriate. You may draft such a page as a subpage and ask for a separate review before someone else pastes it into a page, but you should first ensure you are notable and that the page is not unduly self-promoting. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 22:38, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Again, your user page is not a personal homepage and should not look like a mainspace page. Please review the guidelines on user pages. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 00:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi there,

How many times must I repeat myself? Your user page is not a form of advertising and shouldn't be a biography. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 13:40, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there,

Please help me edit my page. I rewrote my article and thought it was ready that is why I moved it to Main page.DrErikaTS (talk) 01:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

You should not be writing your own article. Period. See the guidelines on conflict of interest and autobiography. Also review the policy on edit warring. Do not revert another editor, particularly when it is on a page where you have a conflict of interest.

Also, I have removed significant blocks of text because they were unsourced. You are not a reliable source about yourself - assuming you are actually Dr. Schwartz, and not an employee of hers as suggested in the e-mail you sent me.

Information on living people must be based on reliable sources. Self-published sources are to be used with caution and can not be used for information that is self-serving, unduly flattering, or much beyond basic statements of fact. Care must also be taken that Dr. Scwhartz is actually notable, a fact that is not apparent by the sources identified - not everyone who appears on TV or publishes a book warrants a wikipedia page.

That you took so long to respond in any way to my initial points and in fact the numerous messages posted on your talk page makes it more difficult to assume good faith. Respond quickly to points that are raised, do not simply ignore them and persist in editing when problems have been pointed out.

Dr. Erika Schwartz

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dr. Erika Schwartz, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.bioidenticalhormoneinitiative.org/?q=node/2. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:29, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Erika Schwartz

A tag has been placed on Dr. Erika Schwartz requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Erika Schwartz

A tag has been placed on Dr. Erika Schwartz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Spam warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.Template:Do not delete

This is the first of four warnings, continuing to use your talk page as a form of advertising will result in a block. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 15:28, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to User:DrErikaTS. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate 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. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. 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. This is the second of four warnings. Continuing to use your talk page for advertising will result in a block. You have consistently failed to even attempt to discuss what is wrong with your page. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 22:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)Template:Do not delete

Cease editing your own page immediately

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Erika Schwartz, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

Thank you for your response. I am new to wikipedia and it seems really complex. I created [1] on my userpage and when done I moved it to the main page to go LIVE and I got tons of comments like conflict of interest, self-promoting,speedy deletion, etc. I don't understand what they meant by those. I rewrote over and over again but still got the same comments. Please help.DrErikaTS (talk) 01:51, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

This could have been avoided easily by replying on your talk page when I posted my first comment more than a month ago. And my second comment two days later, and a third two weeks after that. I have pointed out the variety of policies and guidelines which should impact your editing, both here and on Talk:Erika Schwartz. I would suggest reading those policies and guidelines as a starting point. I have linked all of the policies and guidelines, click on the hyperlinks as usual and you can start familiarizing yourself with how to edit wikipedia appropriately.

We are creating wiki pages for our faculty and Dr. Erika is the course director for our flagship course on the use of hormones in private practice. The user name of DrErikaTS was created in 2008 by an unrelated entity. We have reviewed your rules and guidelines and do not find any conflict of interest. Please post our original page since the page you just posted contains misspellings as well as erroneous information.DrErikaTS (talk) 02:51, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
