User talk:DGF1983

Welcome
Hello, DGF1983, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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.

The 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

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! You can also just type   on your user 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! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Sitush (talk) 21:03, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Daniel Grady Faires
Hi, I would be extremely careful about editing Daniel Grady Faires. It is already an article that is clearly being edited by friends/acquaintances of the subject, if not the subject himself. This shows because of the ridiculously promotional style of writing that existed until the recent tidying effort. Wikipedia is not the place to promote yourself or, indeed, anyone else. According to the article, DGF has websites - do the promotional stuff there. - Sitush (talk) 21:07, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * After posting above, I cleaned up your edits at the article. Then you made another poor edit here, which I have now reverted. We do not link to external websites "inline" because they have a tendency for WP:LINKROT. Furthermore, the statement was already sourced with a citation and therefore did not need this additional inline link. If you do not understand then just drop a note here & I'll be happy to try to explain better. - Sitush (talk) 21:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Daniel Grady Faires has been reverted. Your edit here to Daniel Grady Faires was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/timothy.l.faires, http://www.facebook.com/people/Ben-Faires/55006201) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. 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. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. 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! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
 * See what I mean? The messages above have been generated by a "bot" - a program that runs round cleaning up inappropriate content. Please will you discuss these issues. I now feel strongly that you need to take a step back from this particular article. If Daniel Grady Faires is notable etc then other people will add the necessary. You are, of course, welcome to raise issues at Talk:Daniel Grady Faires but your editing of the article itself is presenting some significant issues. - Sitush (talk) 00:17, 18 January 2012 (UTC)
