User talk:DaltonKey

Hi DaltonKey, welcome to Wikipedia! I am going to post some links and important information for you below, but I wanted to let you know first of all that the page you created, Authentic Muzik Group, has been moved to Draft:Authentic Muzik Group. Pages starting with "Wikipedia:" are administrative pages to do with the Wikipedia project (more info here if you are interested). Encyclopedic articles have no prefix with a colon at all, but since the page about Authentic Muzik Group had no references and did not show that the record label is notable according to Wikipedia's definition of notability for companies, I did not want to move the page to the live encyclopedia, where it would have been eligible for speedy deletion. Instead, I moved it to "Draft:" space, where you'll be able to work on it without worrying about a speedy deletion for lack of notability.

However, and this is important: Draft: space is for work in progress, so if you don't work on improving the article, it will eventually be deleted. In addition, pages in the Draft: space can be speedily deleted if they are copyright violations or pure advertising. That doesn't apply to the page as it looked when I moved it, but it's good for you to know so you don't think it's okay to add promotional copy to the page - that's not appropriate anywhere on Wikipedia.

When you think your draft is ready for publication, you can move it to article space (that is, without the "Draft:" before the name). In order for an article to be acceptable, it has to meet some basic criteria, and you can read about that here. If you want, you can submit the draft through the Articles for Creation review process. You can also ask for help at the Wikipedia teahouse where experienced and friendly editors answer questions about editing Wikipedia.

Finally, I notice that your user name indicates that you probably have a conflict of interest with regard to this record label. I'm going to post some things to think about when editing with a conflict of interest, below.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, DaltonKey. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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 take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 13:19, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
