This is my welcome message. The below message is placed on the user talk pages of new users that seem to be writing about themselves or someone they work for. I put a kitten here because everybody likes kittens.
Welcome to Wikipedia
editHi, I'm Oiyarbepsy and I can see fairies.
Welcome and thank you for joining and editing Wikipedia. Unfortunately, we can't allow you to write articles about yourself or about people or organizations that you work for. This is not only a violation of Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy, but it is also unethical behavior that reflects poorly on your organization. There are many other ways to contribute to Wikipedia, and your knowledge would be a great addition here.
If you have any questions, please click this link, then hit the new section and rock and roll. I really like to pretend to know what I'm doing here, so I'm sure I'll give you the right answer, and if I don't, you can whack me with a trout.
By the way, this is not an automated bot that placed this message. Yes, it is boilerplate, but it won't appear anywhere if I don't put it there.
