User talk:Alexatashi

Welcome!

Hello, Alexatashi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Chi Omega, 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.

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. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Naraht (talk) 23:54, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Chi Omega
I'm glad to see editors interested in updated fraternity and sorority articles, however while some of the changes that you made worked, others due to specific ways that things are set up caused problems. The name of the image with the Crest is the way that it is loaded in wikipedia commons so that when the name was changed, it didn't know where to find it. Also, the things on the left hand side of the equals in the infobox are from a specifically set list, and Purpose wasn't one of them. Fortunately there is a "Free" entry and label so I made it so that those applied to the purpose. I *did* find a page on the Chi Omega national website that referred to the motto as "Hellenic Culture and Christian Ideals" (http://chaptersites.chiomega.com/default.aspx?site=173), so I did restore that. If there is something more specific at chiomega.com saying there isn't a motto (or no open motto), it should be changed back. I'm an experienced editor who has worked with a lot of the pages about Fraternities and Sororities and would love to see the wikipedia page about Chi Omega become better and better. Respond here or at my talk page, I'll be happy to help.Naraht (talk) 01:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

List of Chi Omega chapters
I think this article (List of Chi Omega chapters) definitely needs some work done on it. You may have access to information necessary to bring this up to date that I don't. Take a look. :)Naraht (talk) 01:14, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Naraht! I will definitely work on this and everything else you suggested for me. Thank you so much! -Alex Alexatashi (talk) 04:48, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
