Hi there! I'm Fluffernutter, and this is not an automated notice (I swear!), so please give it a read before you keep editing. I came across your article draft today and I think you're probably going to hit some snags, so I wanted to drop you a note before that happens, so you have a chance to fix things. If we don't clean some of this stuff up now, you will probably end up getting in trouble, and given that I think your organization's goals are great, I don't want that to happen! So let me give you a quick rundown of some of Wikipedia's policies: I hope this information helps. I know Wikipedia's rules can be seriously overwhelming for someone who just wants to write about something they care about, but unfortunately these are the ways we've developed to avoid people just turning it into an advertising space. If you have any questions - which, let's face it, you almost certainly will, because this is a complicated place - I would recommend checking out the Teahouse, which is sort of an introduction space/help desk for new users. The people who staff the Teahouse are very nice and very experienced, and they can help you figure out your way around most of what you'd probably want to do on Wikipedia.
 * Usernames: Wikipedia is sort of unusual among social media sites in that we don't encourage (or allow, actually), "official" accounts for organizations. It's largely to do with copyright - we need to be able to attribute anything you do on Wikipedia to one, single person's authorship - and we're pretty strict about it. So your username is a little iffy, given that you're obviously trying to communicate that you're editing on behalf of the Medical Women's Federation. The way around this is to change your username to something that represents you as an individual person, the person behind the computer. That could be something completely unrelated to your organization (say, "ILoveMedicine"), or it could just be something like "Yourname at Medical Women's Federation", so it makes clear that you're an individual. It will have to change, though, or an administrator doing username "patrol" will probably block your account for breaking the rules. As far as how you go about changing your username, there is an easy way and a hard way, depending on whether you mind having your older edits not marked as coming from your new account name. If you don't mind that, you can just go ahead and create a new account, the same way you created this one, using whatever new username you pick. Leave a note on the user page of your new account saying something like "I initially edited as User:Medical women" and boom, you're done. If you want to keep all your edits linked under your new account name, you will need to go through the username changing process. Follow that link and make a request according to the instructions there, and someone will be along probably within a day or two to help you (if you want to keep editing in the meantime, I would suggest making the request and then putting a note here saying that you've already requested a username change).
 * Editing on behalf of an organization: the other side of the coin about organizations is that while we don't let you have "official" accounts, we still expect you to make it clear you're editing on behalf of your group. Yeah, it's sort of self-contradictory, I know. But the Terms of Service of the website actually require that if you are being paid for your editing (i.e. you're an employee, contractor, etc of the MWF), you have to disclose that fact along with your edits. The easiest way to do that is to create a user page (either here, if you're going to change your username, or at the similar link for your new account if you're going to create a new account) saying something like "I'm an employee of the Medical Women's Federation/a PR contractor hired by the MWF/doing a trade with the MWF where I handle their social media and they give me free ice cream/whatever". That way when people look at your account, they will know what you technically have a conflict of interest with regard to the organization.
 * Speaking of Conflict of Interest: Wikipedia is sort of prickly about it. We don't prohibit people from editing articles they have a conflict of interest about, but it can be very easy to get into trouble with the style of your edits and find yourself stuck in a hole. I know it's a lot of reading, but our "Plain and simple conflict of interest guide" will give you some really valuable information about how not to end up in that hole. The short version is: make your writing boring. So, so boring. The kind of writing you'd find in an encyclopedia, not a brochure. Just the facts and figures, not commentary about aspirations, goals, intentions, etc.
 * And finally, though I'm not sure this is something you've had any trouble with, Copyright. Yet another thing Wikipedia is prickly about. We don't allow copyrighted information on Wikipedia, full stop. Even if it's added by an organization's representative, and even if it's "authorized". So if it's discovered that you've copied any content directly from somewhere like the WMF website, it will end up very deleted, very quickly. So be sure to write anything you add to articles in your own words.

Good luck, and happy editing! A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 15:44, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Medical Women's Federation


A tag has been placed on Draft:Medical Women's Federation, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It is a rejected submission at Articles for creation, and it has not been edited in over six months. (See section G13 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
