User talk:Nick507

Welcome!
Hello, Nick507, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you 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.&#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 another 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 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:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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! DanielRigal (talk) 10:07, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Theatre Guild of Ancon
Hi Nick.

I saw your message on Talk:Theatre Guild of Ancon. Unfortunately what you say actually makes it more likely that it will be deleted. This is because we only have articles about subjects that are already notable. If you are writing about the Guild for the first time then this will almost certainly not fall within our remit as an encyclopaedia. If the guild has some newspaper coverage or has been written about in a book (It doesn't have to be in English) then that would make all the difference but, from what you say, this does not sound likely to be the case. In fact, we have a policy WP:NOTWEBHOST that the article almost certainly probably falls foul of.

Please don't worry too much. Mistakes like this happen and we know the difference between somebody who made a mistake and somebody who is deliberately adding spam.

What I think you should do is copy what you have written before it gets deleted, if you do not already have a copy, (or you you can ask the admins for a copy if it has already been deleted) and the look into getting your own website for the Guild. There are lots of different things you can use, many of them free. Facebook and Wordpress.com spring to mind. There are even some free Wiki hosting services if you really want to have Wiki style editing.

So, you probably won't get an article on Wikipedia but that doesn't mean that you can't document the Guild's history somewhere else. You will be able to write however you want without having to conform to our style and policies. I think that will work out better for you in the long run.

Good luck. --DanielRigal (talk) 10:19, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
