Hi, International Radio Festival! I noticed on the editing feedback board that you're having trouble with beginning a new article. I'm just a beginner and I don't know if I can help you, there may be problems like Conflict of Interest and the need to establish notability for the article. It can be confusing. There are a few places you can get help. There's a Wikipedia help desk. And you might look at this page Article development. Or you can go to the Teahouse. Click on this: Teahouse/Questions, and then on the line that says Ask a question >>. This will open a question box. Explain your problem with some details and somebody who knows what they're doing will come along very quickly to help you out. They will leave a notice on your talk page when they've replied. Click on it and it will take you back to the Teahouse for the answer.

The Teahouse is a new space on Wikipedia where beginners can ask questions and get simple, friendly help. I've used it since I started a few months ago and love it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen (International Radio Festival) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual.

Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you.
