( Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (DeanGrayPublisher) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. 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.

If you are not Dean Gray, you're using someone else's identity. If you are Dean Gray, you're editing an article about yourself. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. This lousy t-shirt (talk) 02:51, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Renamed

You have been kindly renamed by one of my fellow 'crats, but you really need to ensure that you edit within the bounds of WP:COI. Not doing so could result in your account being indefinitely blocked. I hoped you understand, if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck, happy new year. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Jackie Devereaux

The article Jackie Devereaux has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not notable. Biggest documented/sourced accomplishment is an unpublished, unproduced screenplay written for the online screenwriting school competition that made it to a semi final round amongst 50 or so other screenplays.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – S.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
