Welcome!
editHello, Southdownsplanetarium, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was South Downs Planetarium & Science Centre, which 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 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. 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:

- 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! 331dot (talk) 12:16, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Southdownsplanetarium", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of an organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Southdownsplanetarium 331dot (talk) 12:17, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

editHi, sorry for the confusion we are new to the site. We came here as we didn't realise that a wiki page has been programed for us. We are part of the 'south downs planetarium' and we only came on here to update the website. Sorry for any inconvenience.
- Your ideas are welcome, but it is highly suggested that you discuss them on the talk page first per the conflict of interest policy to make sure that the article is written from a neutral point of view. You will need to change your username as the username policy does not permit the names of organizations to be used as a username(though an organization's name can be part of a username). If you would like assistance in doing so, please ask. 331dot (talk) 12:37, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
Your username
editWelcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created South Downs Planetarium & Science Centre, and I noticed that your username, "Southdownsplanetarium", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87". Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Lucythebud ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 13:43, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
