  • Welcome. Since it is unusual for a new editor to begin by wading into AFD and a series of disparate articles, I thought I would mention that when comment in the deletion process it is most useful to search and bring new sources to the discussion, to demonstrate that searches have been performed and no reliably sourced articles discovered. Again, welcome.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:50, 8 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blooming Lotus Yoga, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. — Jeraphine Gryphon (talk) 12:22, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Hello

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia invites everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, but one of your recent edits suggests that you have been recruited to make that edit by someone else, whether it be a friend, family member, coworker, or public figure. Please understand that Wikipedia does not condone such activity; users should act in their individual capacity, rather than editing under the direction or influence of others.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Mike VTalk 17:22, 13 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
