Welcome!
editHello, BuddyRedBow, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Buddy Red Bow, 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 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! Auric talk 15:28, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
Nomination of A.J. Perrelli for deletion
editA discussion is taking place as to whether the article A.J. Perrelli is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A.J. Perrelli until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Sam Sing! 09:28, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Creation of unsourced sub-sub-stubs
editPlease stop creating new articles which consist of a single sentence, and an infobox without only the most rudimentary data, for people who are either not notable or whom are covered by other, existing articles. You've done this with David Perry (musician) (converted by another editor into a redirect to Mountain (band)), G. Jeff Olson (singer) (converted by another editor to a redirect to Village People), Gerry Polci (Four Seasons) (converted by me into a redirect to Four Seasons (band)) and The Primettes (converted by another editor into a redirect to The Supremes).
These unsourced sub-sub-stubs are unhelpful to Wikipedia, and take time and energy for other editors to repair and redirect. I suggest you stop doing this, and check in advance if there is sufficient coverage in existing article on the people you're interested in. Continuing to edit in this matter could be considered to be disruptive and sould lead to being blocked from editing. BMK (talk) 18:43, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
- I have actually deleted some of them now - the redirect for Gerry Polci to the Four Seasons already existed, so it makes no sense to disambiguate as Gerry Polci (Four Seasons). I've deleted 3 similar creations. Please verify that we do/do not already have articles for things you try to create. Thanks. the panda ₯’ 22:51, 17 July 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of A.J. Perrelli
editIf this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on A.J. Perrelli requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. WWGB (talk) 06:15, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
