Welcome, Vcruz911!

Hello, Vcruz911, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Getting the articles just right can be tricky - but there are lots of people to ask!

If you have any questions check out Wikipedia:Questions.

There are several ways of getting help:

  1. Leave a message on this page. It is on my watchlist, which means that I can see when the page is changed!
  2. Leave a message on my talk page - just click on talk in my signature
  3. Go into IRC Channel #wikipedia-en-help
  4. Leave a message on this page starting with {{helpme}} followed by your question - someone in the IRC help room will be over as soon as possible
  5. Leave a question on the Help Desk or on the New Contributors' Help Page

By the way, when you are writing on a discussion page (or someone's talk page), it is considered good manners to sign your comment... to do this, just add ~~~~ at the end of your comment. That will put your user name (Vcruz911) and the date/time at the end (or you can click on the icon when you are editing. Never sign on an article page - only on a discussion page.



I am now going to sign below this box with my signature, by adding ~~~~ here:

Conflict of interest

edit

If you are closely connected with a subject (for example, hypothetically, as the person responsible as a company's press and media contact), it is strongly suggested that you do not edit articles about that subject. You might like to read both Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines and this article from Rush PR News, which concludes “Inevitably, the agency will be called to account as to why the article was removed, so it is undoubtedly the best option to be honest with the client about Wikipedia’s stance, and to wait for someone completely removed from the business to deem the business noteworthy enough to want to submit an article of their own accord.”
