Hello! Rue36,

Welcome!
editHello, Rue36, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Randy Ruether, 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 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 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! Mr. Guye (talk) 00:54, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Rue36
editA tag has been placed on User:Rue36 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.
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 "Click here to 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.

Ok, so the editors don't feel that I am relevant enough to have an article, but I can't even have my own user page? What is happening? What am I doing wrong? I am new to Wikipedia, and find it extremely confusing, but I am doing my best to figure it out and follow the guidelines. Also, so, maybe no one cares about who I am, but I would like to at least have an article for my newly developed Three Player Chess game, called "Ch3Xs". It is already a part of the Three Player Chess article, and I feel it is at least notable enough to have an article explaining the rules and it's origin to anyone who might be interested. There are all sorts of other articles on Chess variants. Please help. Thank you
October 2014
editYour edit at Three-player chess has been reverted, as you were removing a valid maintenance template without addressing the problem. That part of the article is unsourced, and without a reference to coverage in an independent published reliable source it is liable to be removed from the article. --David Biddulph (talk) 19:37, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
