User talk:Malachyhanberry
Welcome!
Hello, Malachyhanberry, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you 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 undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. 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 accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
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! You can also 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:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:13, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
When writing
[edit]Hi Malachyhanberry, I left you a welcome note a few days back. In the note are some links to guidelines. The manual of style used while writing, is WP:MOS, this will give you guidence and further links to other guidelines the will help your experience on the project- Wikipedia is a project to give the world a on-line encyclopaedia for free.
I understand your eagerness on editing SPAR, so I will draw your attention to a few guidelines. Articles are to be written from a neutral view point WP:NPOV, this insures the the articles dont give a biased view. Wikipedia also has guidelines where editing an article may, even unintentionaly, be of a close nature to the editor, a conflict of interest WP:COI maybe present. Also Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is not WP:NOT a publisher of original thought, or a means of promotion.
If you have any questions on what I have raised here or in general feel free to contact myself on my talkpage. Alternatively if you seek a more seasoned assitance you could consider contacting an admin or relevant notice board. Thanks for you time. Murry1975 (talk) 05:51, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
