Welcome

Hello, InternARCHS, 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 reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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.

The 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• Tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Article

Hi InternARCHS. To add a new section on a talk page, just click on the tab at the top. As for your article, I am assuming that you mean the one that is your user page now. That's not what I meant. You can develop it at User:InternARCHS/ARCHS until such time as it is ready. However, I am still worried about any possible conflicts of interest that may arise. You should be very careful with your sourcing and phrasing to avoid deletion once it is moved to the main space. Crisco 1492 (talk) 16:27, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you sooooo much for your help in figuring out this "talk" thing! :)

I took your advice and submitted a request to change my username I didn't really think that one through, but I will be the only one using this username. My connection with ARCHS isn't a conflict of interest I don't think? I thought it would be a good idea to get acclimated with wiki and how it works and when I was trying to think about something to write about ARCHS popped into my head, and when I noticed they didn't have a page on here yet I thought, "well I can write it". I don't work for them I just volunteered in one of the programs that they put on and thought they would be something worth writing about on here. So I was wondering if you could help me make this page acceptable to post on here. I greatly appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks!
