I'm curious as why you had decided to tag that article as having a [[WP:COI|COI]] editor, and what that tag was supposed to accomplish. [[User:Voceditenore|Voceditenore]] ([[User talk:Voceditenore|talk]]) 12:50, 29 October 2009 (UTC) |

:Taken from [[WP:COI]]: 'There are no firm criteria to determine whether a conflict of interest exists, but there are warning signs. Adding material that appears to promote the interests or visibility of an article's author, its author's family members, employer, associates, or their business or personal interests, places the author in a conflict of interest. When editors write to promote their own interests, their contributions often show a characteristic lack of connection to anything the general reader might want to consult as a reference.' Some of the language in the article sounded too 'familiar' to me, and it seemed funny to me that there were only program listings as sources. Placing a [[WP:COI]] tag creates the opportunity for clarification or adding references and citations, which is exactly what you did. It wasn't meant to be offensive or personal; I'm sorry if it came across that way. Cheers! [[User:The Zwinky|The Zwinky]] ([[User talk:The Zwinky#top|talk]]) 15:41, 29 October 2009 (UTC) |

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, The Zwinky! I am Dethlock99 and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!
I see that nobody has welcomed you to Wikipedia yet, so let me be the first! Thanks for helping us to try and find a non-local source for the article. Keep on editing!
