User talk:Nataliast96

Welcome!
Hello, Nataliast96, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Natalia Stamuli, which 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.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. 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.

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. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Katieh5584 (talk) 10:21, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

A little about editing Wikipedia
Hello. While I appreciate your interest in contributing to Wikipedia, I'm afraid that your initial edits to Natalia Stamuli have had to be removed. Because Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, all content added to Wikipedia must be verifiable to reliable sources. And because living people are at special risk of having their reputations damaged if false information on placed on Wikipedia, this rule is particularly strictly enforced on biographies.

Please see Biographies of living people and verifiability for more.

What this boils down to is that it doesn't matter who we are or how we know, we can't add content to biographies unless we provide a link to a reliable, published source to show that it was published there first. Not even if the biography is about you.

If the biography is about you, we would generally ask that you be careful about editing it at all. Unlike Facebook or many other sites, Wikipedia has a very special purpose - as an encyclopedia, it is intended to accurately and neutrally reflect what published sources say about subjects, not necessarily what they say about themselves. I'd recommend you review FAQ/Article subjects and WP:COI to make sure that any work you do with the article conforms to our policies. That can help avoid problems.

Finally, you should receive a note that the image you placed in the article has been deleted on Wikimedia Commons. This is a necessary precaution because license must be verified for previously published pictures. As I mentioned on your talk page there, it is possible that you do not own the copyright to this picture - frequently, copyright is owned by the photographer. You may need to get your photographer to provide a license. See Declaration of consent for all enquiries for the necessary form letter.

If you have any questions, you may wish to visit the Teahouse, which is meant to be a welcoming environment for newcomers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:42, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
