June 2010
Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test on the page List of people from Mississippi worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. The list is reserved for notable people only; do not add yourself or a family member to the list. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Do not readd either of the Gentrys you just added to List of people from Mississippi until you explain, either here or at Talk:List of people from Mississippi, how they are notable and why they should be added. Additionally:

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article List of people from Mississippi, 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, 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; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:44, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
