editHello, Dnblumberg. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Florida gubernatorial election, 2014, 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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:58, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

editThis is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Florida gubernatorial election, 2014, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. This is your final warning. Another editor has already warned you, and you have continued. Next time you add a candidate that is unproperly source, and is also the same as your username, you will be blocked from editing. America69 (talk) 03:49, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
Your contributed article, 2014 Governor Race in Florida Independent Candidates
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.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, 2014 Governor Race in Florida Independent Candidates. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Florida_gubernatorial_election,_2014. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Florida_gubernatorial_election,_2014 - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Harry the Dog WOOF 14:05, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Talk:2014 Governor Race in Florida Independent Candidates. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 15:49, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
Truly I must have touched a special nerve to be able to get such amazing personal attacks from people here. A simple, "Hello, I invite you to look at the difference in detail between Wikileaks and Wikipedia." Amazingly enough I am more then willing to learn and read and even be corrected. Instead you much as America69 resort to personal attacks in responses. I have read more details concerning Wikileaks and Wikipedia. It turns out that Wikipedia has indeed distanced itself from Wikileaks. I shall note the video with an edit concerning the differentiation between Wikileaks and Wikipedia. I shall ask you though to look at yourself in the mirror and ask who you have become to immediately attack someone that made a mistake instead of trying to make a correction
editYou are either ignorant or stupid; either way, your YouTube video is a lie
editYou have attempted to insert yourself into an article; when blocked, you have then issued a YouTube video which falsely associates Wikipedia with Wikileaks, a totally different organization. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:40, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
