Welcome to Wikipedia![edit]

Hello, Freshchoicedak, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! NeoChaosX (talk, edits) 06:55, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Possible conflict of interest[edit]

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Sarah 09:07, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Username block[edit]

I'm sorry but I have blocked this username because it violates Wikipedia's username policy which does not allow the use of corporate and organisation names and products as usernames. Please also be aware that there have been concerns about the manner of your edits, which appear to be promotional in nature. Wikipedia is a project to build a free neutral encyclopedia, it is definitely not a venue for advertising or promoting companies. You are welcome to register for a personal account that does not include the names of any businesses, products, etc but you are required to edit articles in a neutral manner which complies with our policies and guidelines. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is a tertiary source, so we only report what reliable, verifiable third party sources (ie newspaper, journal articles, reputable fact-checked books etc) have already written about a subject. We do not publish first hand information, personal knowledge or original research, so please be sure to cite reliable sources to support your edits otherwise they are likely to be undone by other editors.

As you have been editing articles about an organization which you appear to be involved with, please review Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations, and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

Please understand that as a privately owned website, Wikipedia is entitled to create and enforce policies deemed necessary in facilitating our goal of creating a neutral, free encyclopedia, so you need to be willing and able to conform to those guidelines if you are to edit here. We also will not be hosting the company's promotional fact sheets, that's simply not what we do here.
