If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, 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. Morenooso (talk) 05:42, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Angel Monroe. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 05:58, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Warning Please do not overwrite comments on a talkpage. If you need to add comments, either place them in one of the current sections or start a new one. --Morenooso (talk) 06:15, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

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

I notice that one of the first articles you have 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 reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, 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.

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! Or, you can 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. Again, welcome! ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 16:44, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Re:Help
I saw you placed a request for help, but it's not in the right place. The administrator who deleted the article (Angel Monroe) was Bwilkins; you can ask them for info on their talk page, User talk:Bwilkins. The Angel Monroe article has been deleted in the past for being about a non-notable subject; a deletion discussion is found here. I hope this helps. Drmies (talk) 18:39, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

More help
I have provided you with a number of links above as to Wikipedia's policies and page creation guidelines. First and foremost, you must understand the conflict of interest guidelines, and understand that Wikipedia may never, ever be used for promotional purposes. Wikipedia is not a webhosting service, it is an encyclopedia. We accept articles that have established notability under a wide range of guidelines, such as WP:MUSIC, WP:ARTIST and more. A deletion discussion by the community decided the article was not notable (only minor acting credits, minor modeling credits, none of them supported by third party reliable sources). A casting agency knows full well that Wikipedia is not for promoting their clients - that's what private websites are for. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 18:57, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
