Welcome!

Hello, Jleuthard, 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 another 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.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• 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!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Jleuthard/sandbox

If 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.

A tag has been placed on User:Jleuthard/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://phoenixmed.arizona.edu/node/2372. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

  If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Jleuthard. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:13, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Help me!

Please help me with...

I have no idea if anyone will get this. I don't even know if I'm posting in the right place. I find wikipedia so frustrating. I'm trying to get on here and create a page for my work and it's so frustrating as I don't have a week to try to figure this out. I usually donate every year but I don't think I will in the future because I can't even use wikipedia to add stuff a it's so un-user friendly. I thought Drupal was un-user friendly. I've been using it for 10 years and it's way easier than trying to use wikipedia.

I need to add a page just like the one for the college of medicine in Tucson so I was going to just re-create their page almost verbatim to see if I can get it live with tweaks that only pertain to my college. We are now 2 separate colleges with separate accreditation and separate curriculums, separate timelines, separate deans, etc.

I also need to add paid (indirectly by the u of a) and I can't figure out how to do that either

there's just way too many pages to read just to get started.

I've tried this like 5 times so it's not just one time of me coming here.

any help would be appreciated.

Let's take this one step at a time. The very first step is to follow the instructions at WP:PAID and WP:COI by placing a notice on your user page, which you'll need to create by visiting User:Jleuthard (click on the red link). At the top of the edit section, type in the template {{UserboxCOI|1=Wikipedia article name}}, replacing the 1= parameter with the name of the appropriate article (without square brackets). Then you can click on "show preview" to see what it looks like and, when you're satisfied, click on "save changes".

I'll leave the {{Help me}} template active so someone else may come along soon and, seeing that you've accomplished the first step, help with the next steps. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:09, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

You can take a look at Template:Paid; the template page has examples of code you can copy-paste to your user page and fill out. That said, the page you created back in April was copy-pasted from elsewhere in violation of copyright; it was deleted for that reason. A Wikipedia article should be a neutral summary of what reliable sources that are independent of the subject have reported about it, written in our own words to avoid copyright issues, and citing the sources so our readers can independently verify that the summary is accurate. The tool of choice for drafting a new article is the Article Wizard. If you're looking for help with the editing itself, the WP:Tutorial may be worth a look. You can also try the Visual Editor; the "what you see is what you get" editing of the VE may be more appealing if you don't like editing the source code. Huon (talk) 23:55, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
