Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Editing tutorial
- Picture tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Naming conventions
- Manual of Style
- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!
Hello Burandela1,
It seems to me that an article you worked on, 1859 Oregon's Magazine, may be copied from http://1859oregonmagazine.com/about-us. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.
It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.
Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:47, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 1859 Oregon's Magazine, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://1859oregonmagazine.com/about-us.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text for legal reasons. Please do not continue attempting to add it. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 20:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello Burandela1. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Tgeairn (talk) 20:22, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Regarding 1859 Oregon's Magazine
edit(moved from Talk:1859 Oregon's Magazine) Three things:
- Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material (save under very limited circumstances which this doesn't fall under). In order to accept this material, it needs to be released under a free license compatible with Wikipedia's, such as the Creative Commons license. Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials has information on how to donate materials to Wikipedia.
- Wikipedia is not a promotional tool. It is an encyclopedia. Even if that material is released under a compatible license, it likely still wouldn't be included as it's promotional in nature.
- If you work for the magazine, you have a conflict of interest. Wikipedia strives to be neutral, and if you work for the magazine's PR team, it might be difficult to you to write objectively about it. Most editors recommend you stay away from it entirely.
Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations is a good help for businesses that want to use Wikipedia. That should answer most other questions you have. If you have any others, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 20:29, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, friend
editHoly cow, looks like you've been beat up with a sledgehammer over the 1859 magazine piece. Sorry about that. There are all sorts of red flags associated with new pages by newcomers in the best of situations, and it looks like you've been getting beat up pretty badly...
The good news is that I've worked over the piece pretty hard and I think it's pretty close to being bulletproofed against a deletion nomination. It would be helpful to add a graphic, preferably a cover shot, but as you see from the onslaught above, one must be VERY precise with how that is handled, copyright wise. I invite you to communicate with me by email: [email protected] or click the TALK link at the end of my signature and leave a message for me on my "talk page" if you don't mind your correspondence being read by a dozen strangers.
Again, sorry for the brutal onslaught of warnings templates above. Wikipedia does a damned poor job of making new contributors feel welcome. Let me be the first to say it: welcome — it's not always like this!
best regards,
