Promotion
Do not use Wikipedia to promote your company Hallelujah Acres, as you did in this series of edits. Doing so is in violation of Wikipedia policies and guidelines. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:17, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

I am very new to making Wiki changes. Sorry about that. I tried to make a general info page for the company. I will go back to it tomorrow and have a greater understanding. Thanks for the information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laura HAcres (talk • contribs) 14:51, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Laura HAcres) 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.
 * 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. The article in question is Hallelujah acres. Thank you.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 14:34, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Your addition to Hallelujah acres has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 14:36, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The source of the copyright violation was the Hallelujah Acres website.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 14:38, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Please note that we can't just take your word for getting permission to use copyrighted text - you need to go through the process outlined in WP:COPYREQ. However, it is not usually worth the trouble of doing this, especially for promotional material, as such copyrighted material often fails Wikipedia's policy of maintaining a neutral point of view. See WP:NPOV for details.  — Mr. Stradivarius  ♫ 14:45, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
