Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Cindy Rodriguez has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): rule: '\bwordpress\.com' (link(s): http://www.cindyrodriguez.wordpress.com/). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Thank you. Duly noted.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Eeekster (talk) 02:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Autobiographical article
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest. Not aware until after the page was created. My apologies.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.)  --DAJF (talk) 03:30, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Marking major edits as "minor"
Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'  --DAJF (talk) 22:45, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

FYI Conflict of interest guideline
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. — Athaenara ✉  17:20, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I cannot have the page deleted yet it continues to state that it violates conflict of interest. What, then, can I do to get rid of the conflict of interest tag?

I was not aware that I was not to create my own page. I am embarrassed and want to know what I can do to have that tag removed. CindyERodriguez (talk) 12:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)Cindy

Make suggestions for improvement on the article's talk page, providing links for unsubstantiated assertions, etc. --Orange Mike | Talk 20:59, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't see anything that is unsubstantiated. There are a couple of sentences that ask for a citation but there's no proof on the web. I don't know how I'd go about providing a link when none exist (as is the case of being a guest on the al franken show.) So you can take that out if you'd like. what else can I do to get the COI off?

If there is NOTHING I can do I would rather just have it deleted. Thanks. CindyERodriguez (talk) 01:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)Cindy

Cut and pasted discussion in this section, above. Please let me know how to get rid of the COI tag. CindyERodriguez (talk) 15:52, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Cindy

Still waiting for a response to the above question. CindyERodriguez (talk) 19:11, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of the article Cindy Rodriguez
You have requested the deletion of this article; but it has been edited by other editors, and therefore you cannot request its deletion as sole author. If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it. -- Orange Mike   &#x007C;   Talk  20:54, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
