Charlie Crawford
Why are you changing the wp:redirect to "The Black Squirrel"? Jim1138 (talk) 09:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Jim, I am new to Wiki so thank you for talking with me. I should not have added a description and won't make one anymore but I also dont understand why typing Charlie Crawford automatically redirects you to a tv show with a character named that Charliegc214 (talk) 15:48, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

And to answer your question, my name is Charlie Crawford (college mascot was a black squirrel) and I didnt want to be associated with Charlie Sheen's workCharliegc214 (talk) 16:10, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Writing an autobiography
Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Charlie Crawford. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Wikipedia and copyrighted materials
Considering I work for Coaches Across Continents and was asked to do this by our founder I had assumed it would be all right. This was thoroughly frustrating. I spent a lot of time on it. I recognize I am new here but its a very small organization and I could get my boss to email/do something simple to back me up if need be. And also, the team picture is personally owned by me. Why was that one erased? And why all the numbers when I cited the CAC website? Charliegc214 (talk) 15:50, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello Charliegc214, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Coaches Across Continents has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 10:28, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Editing with a conflict of interest
Hello, Charliegc214. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Coaches Across Continents, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;

 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 02:09, 6 February 2016 (UTC)
