Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Policy question
Thanks, Toddst1. I admit I'm a little confused here. The page for First Investors was modeled on a similar one for The Vanguard Group which has been up for some time. What are some material differences between the two that would bring my new article into conformity?

 * You need to establish WP:Notability of the company. I suspect the company would pass the test, but you have to tell us why (be sure to read those two links). Good luck.  Toddst1 (talk) 18:26, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * In short, to prove notability you have to provide several third party sources which shows that the company is worthy of inclusion (notable). Killiondude (talk) 18:29, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Signing your posts
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

First Investors
I have moved this article to your user space at User:Admjj/First Investors so that you can work on it. When it's ready you can move it back to article space using the WP:MOVE function. ... disco spinster   talk  20:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
