Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a  living person to any Wikipedia page. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced to multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Ol Yeller '''Talktome 21:22, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation
Hey! I noticed you made quite an extensive first edit on the  Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation article. The changes you made were dangerously close to the description of MMRF on their official website. This would constitute a copyright violation according to wp:copyvio so I reverted the edit. You're free to make whatever changes you'd like but by making the article so closely mirror the MMRF offical website, the whole article is in danger of being deleted. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or see the articles I posted above, in my first comment. Thanks again for trying to make Wikipedia a better place!

 * As I suspected, it appears that you may be one Aimee Swartz who is a contributing writer for the MMRF Newsletter. I seriously doubt that it would be an issue in this case but editing this article could be percieved as a Conflict of Interest.  Ol Yeller  '''Talktome 21:40, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I've started a conversation about the alleged copyrighted material here. Also, I've alerted other editors to the issue so that we can get it resolved here, here, and here.  The whole copyright violation issue can be easily avoided if you check out this page which describes how to give Wikipedia the rights to use the material under copyright by the MMRF.  If you want to talk about it more, please do so on the talk page of the article. I hope this helps get this resolved quickly.   Ol Yeller  '''Talktome 20:59, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
