Teahouse talkback: you've got messages!

Hello, Austinjbollinger. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!

Welcome!

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

I noticed 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.

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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Recent edit to Dumbbell

Hello, and thank you for your recent contribution. I appreciate the effort you made for our project, but unfortunately I had to undo your edit because I believe the article was better before you made that change. Please do not add promo or personal opinion. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Thank you! Acabashi (talk) 19:32, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Acabashi I apologize. I thought it would be nice to have an example of that type of dumbbell.Austin J Bollinger (talk) 19:40, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Maybe so, but if you use terms such as "great example" it's best to back it up with reliable and neutral sources that use that term and quote it, otherwise it would be as I said above. Thanks. Acabashi (talk) 19:57, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Acabashi Point taken. I'm very new to this.Austin J Bollinger (talk) 20:04, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

Draft:Element 74 concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Element 74, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:35, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Element 74

Hello Austinjbollinger. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Element 74".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Element 74}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 22:48, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
