Hello, JenniferSimpsonBespoke. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 19:46, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:JenniferSimpsonBespoke


A tag has been placed on User:JenniferSimpsonBespoke, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Theroadislong (talk) 21:05, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because I'm simply trying to explain who I am as a 'user'. I may misunderstand the purpose of this page, though, so please help me understand. As a new user, I thought this was where I had to enter my profile details for context?? --JenniferSimpsonBespoke (talk) 21:09, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I have declined the speedy deletion, because the page reads to me, as you say, as an explanation of who you are, not as promotion. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:13, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, James. I appreciate it. JenniferSimpsonBespoke (talk) 21:51, 24 August 2013 (UTC) A tag has been placed on your user page, User:JenniferSimpsonBespoke, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages: user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. I am One of Many (talk) 23:27, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "JenniferSimpsonBespoke", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  23:24, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Orangemike. After reading your suggested links, I realize the entry I was playing with in the sandbox is, in fact, a breach of the 'conflict of interest' definition. I'm new to this, so will leave it alone and not suggest it be posted as an encyclopedic entry. As for my user name, as you can imagine, the name JenniferSimpson is extremely common, yet JenniferSimpsonBespoke isn't - in all honesty, it's the username I use in most of my logins, so for simplicity sake (and to help me remember), I used it again here. I hope that's a good enough explanation... JenniferSimpsonBespoke (talk) 14:17, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * You will need to get all the garbage off your userpage, which at this point is written in the third person, and resembles nothing so much as an advertisement for yourself and your business in the form of a fake "article". -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  14:52, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey, orangemike - looks like you did it already for me. Thanks. JenniferSimpsonBespoke (talk) 16:26, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
 * I put it into first person, as I understand you to be asking me to do here; forgive me if I misunderstood you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  20:03, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Orangemike. I was thanking you for deleting the sandbox page, but if my user page works better written in first person, that's fine, too. Have a good day, J. JenniferSimpsonBespoke (talk) 14:02, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
