Welcome!

Hello, Agentcru, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or in other media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hi Magnolia667 - thanks very much for the very helpful resources. I'll check them out! Agentcru (talk) 00:14, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Can you help me understand some of the revisions. I understand verifyability, but some of the changes, where I corrected "wine maker" to "winemaker", which is a spelling simple spelling issue, I don't see why that would be problematic. Agentcru (talk) 00:17, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest?

I noticed on your user page a self-declared conflict of interest regarding Addison Rex, yet you are contributing to Draft:Addison Rex? Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:02, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's true - I wanted to be transparent, as the introductory material suggested I should be. Does Wikipedia never allow those with a conflict to work on the page, even if they follow verifiablity regs? Thanks! Agentcru (talk) 00:19, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message on my talk page. Conflict of interest editing is strongly discouraged, per WP:COIEDIT. It's one of the few things nearly all Wikipedia editors agree on...that Wikipedia shouldn't be used for advertising or self-promotion (which is what you'd be doing if you received some benefit for promoting Addison Rex...who according Rex's LinkedIn, is a person code-named "Agentcru"). In fact, Draft:Addison Rex been rejected because it reads like an advertisement. Also, I doubt Addison Rex meets Wikipedia's notability requirements. I only found one reliable secondary source that had any biographical depth, see [1]. Anyway, I have a bottle of Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru waiting in the fridge. Cheers.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Addison Rex

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 Draft:Addison Rex, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

February 2021

Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2021 Hula Bowl, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Dmoore5556 (talk) 21:06, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to 2021 Hula Bowl. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
