Welcome!
Hello, Cmulka11, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice 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! tedder (talk) 18:47, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

editYour addition to Lightspeed Financial has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. tedder (talk) 18:47, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
- I assume you (and the other new editors) of Lightspeed Financial either work for them or for a related PR company. It's okay to edit Wikipedia if you are related but you must follow the guidelines. That means many things, including disclosing your relationship, writing the content neutrally, and not copy/pasting content directly from their website. If this is really confusing, ask on my talk page or use the teahouse new user help system. If that's too much work, either leave the page alone or hire a consultant that understands how Wikipedia works so you don't have to learn how to do it. tedder (talk) 18:52, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

editI added PBS and BBC as more notable sources featuring Ben Schwartz. Please let me know if this is sufficient, thanks!
- Cmulka, this is awesome! Nice article and nice improvements! However, the middle two paragraphs of Life and career are unsourced. Take a look at WP:MINREF to get an idea of how much you have to cite. But great work! Thanks, theonesean 17:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
