Welcome!
editHello, JWalk6, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed 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 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 five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to 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! Rankersbo (talk) 22:37, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

editReward Board
editHi: I have added some formatting elements to your submission, and will add more over time, hopefully getting it up to snuff before the draft is deleted. I'm stymied by the name of the subject, which returns a lot of false positives in a Google search result. If you have any more references, especially those like the NYT and NJ.com articles, please drop a note at my talk page and I will add them. :) Eddymason (talk) 16:58, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi again: I've added the Internet Retailer Magazine article about Canadian expansion, the other two were already in the article. There are fourteen references, minus the "about us" page makes it thirteen references. The notice states that there is a backlog though, so
it may take some time before we know whether the submission is accepted. Eddymason (talk) 22:49, 2 December 2014 (UTC)I moved it to article space myself due to the backlog and vastly improved references, and per Wikipedia's rule instructing us to be bold when improving the encyclopedia. :) Eddymason (talk) 23:06, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Hi: I will take your thank you message as my barnstar. :) Eddymason (talk) 19:39, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
License tagging for File:GlobalBlueSmall.gif
editThanks for uploading File:GlobalBlueSmall.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- You can ignore our bot friend above. I have taken the liberty of repairing your upload. :3 Eddymason (talk) 21:20, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Actually, you can help by indicating the copyright status of the logo (presumably copyrighted), as re-requested by the bot. The department that handles the company's intellectual property would know. ;) Eddymason (talk) 22:14, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
