{{helpme}} Good morning Mdd. My name is Cameron and I am trying to get a better understanding of how wikipedia works. More specifically, I believe Wikipedia may be an excellent forum for sharing the IT knowledge I have gained over the past 25 years. I am trying to understand how Wikipedia works and how I can best contribute - hoping contact with you is the first step. Looking forward to any instruction/suggestion you can make. Hope to pose questions to you (if that is the proper protocol). Thanks. Cameron.

Welcome, again. Start with the WP:Introduction, the WP:Five Pillars and the guide to writing WP:Your first article. Links from those will take you to more information, and you will find the WP:Tutorial useful. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cameron. You did the right thing responding here to get in contact with me. Unfortunately at the moment I am not active at Wikipedia (what we call a wikibreak), so I didn't respond right away. I advice you to look for active Wikipedians to answer any questions you have. In time you will notice that they are going to find you as well. Good luck. Mdd (talk) 23:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

August 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute 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 as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because 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 [1] MrOllie (talk) 13:44, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have just received this message and am trying to understand how to address it. I entered wikipedia this morning to try and enhance a number of articles (including adding a number of web links) and I have been informed the article titled "Integrated IT Methodology" will be removed. I believe the "Integrated IT Methodology" article adds a great deal of knowledge to IT users and am wondering if I should remove the links I put in today

Thanks. QAIassist

Proposed deletion of Integrated IT Methodology

The article Integrated IT Methodology has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Sourced to blogs, no reliable sources establishing the notability of the concept

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MrOllie (talk) 13:47, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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. 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.Template:Do not delete MrOllie (talk) 13:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Username probelm

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. 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.
