Recent edit to List of bands from New Zealand
editHello. I noticed that you recently made a contribution to the List of bands from New Zealand article that seemed to be a test. Your test worked! However, test edits on live articles disrupt Wikipedia and may confuse readers. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 09:25, 17 January 2016 (UTC)
Thank You so much. You have been the most amicable and helpful person on Wiki. I'm sorry I have made mistakes because I am brand new to Wiki. I joined Wiki to add a factual piece of retrospective information about a band to a page called List of NZ Bands. This piece was met with such unfair and petty judgments that I have been frightened off it altogether. I understand that it is necessary to have strict rules around contributions...but how my piece was judged, was a wholly unpleasant experience. I was told not to be offended... but in reality I am. You were the first person to be helpful and non-accusatory towards me here on this site. So, Thank You Material Scientist. Beautybeaut1 (talk) 06:56, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

editPlease do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Picture This (band), without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 02:17, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Welcome!
editHello, Beautybeaut1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Picture This (band), which 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 another 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 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:

- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

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! 331dot (talk) 02:40, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

editPlease do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Picture This (band). While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion.
