Welcome!
Hello, Suzroundsquare, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Round Square, 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.
The 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

- Help pages

- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- MST☆R (Chat Me!) 07:53, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Round Square, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- MST☆R (Chat Me!) 07:53, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Round Square, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. Please do not remove content and replace it with original research - I'll also inform you again, that you need to stay neutral especially when editing an article of a company/organisation you have ties with. Thank you -- MST☆R (Chat Me!) 08:00, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
Hey
editHi Suzanne. I've just looked at your latest contribution to Round Square and can see the problems that MelbournsStar sees. First, it's a bit gushy; a bit promotional in tone. Also, if it's an exact copy or a close paraphrase of copyrighted material, we can't use it. Have a read of those policies I pointed you to - WP:V, WP:NPOV, and WP:COI and then compose something in the light of what you learn from that reading. Compose it here on your talk page if you like, and we can knock it into something that complies with policy before pasting it into the article. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 14:25, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
- For sources about Hahn for example, see [1]. It is perfectly okay to look at these books in Google Books, and reflect what they say in the Round Square article. There are independent third-party sources there in Google Books that say much the same that you want to say, and these are appropriate sources to cite as references. JN466 12:34, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
