Help me!
Please help me with... is there a website tutorial that shows me how to create a wikipedia page? I can't figure out how to add the citations and links without getting an error message.

 * Can you copy and paste to this page the exact error message you are getting?


 * You can do the Wikipedia Adventure which will give you an introduction to Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 18:16, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I would add that your account has to be at least four days old and/or with 10 edits before you can add external links, I believe. 331dot (talk) 18:18, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, OtisKopp. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Grace and Peace Records, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
 * instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the template);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 20:06, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Please indicate that you have read the above. 331dot (talk) 20:09, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Help me!
I didn't realize that I could not edit pages in which I am associated. Do you suggest the page be deleted?

 * Which pages do you mean? Tom29739 (talk) 20:48, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Editing a page you are associated with is not forbidden outright, but it's discouraged since it may be difficult to maintain a neutral point of view when one is closely associated with the article's topic. In such cases it's considered best practice not to edit the article directly (unless it's trivial, uncontroversial issues such as fixing typos) but to propose specific changes on the article's talk page and leave it to uninvolved editors to decide whether the changes will improve our coverage of the topic. You can add the code (including the curly brackets) to raise awareness of your proposal.
 * Similarly, I'd leave it to other editors to decide whether the page should be deleted outright - one editor having a conflict of interest is not in itself grounds for deletion, though if the page read like an advertisement, that might be a reason. Huon (talk) 20:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Where the page is not blatant promotion I don't think it needs to be deleted just because you are associated with it, but what is needed are independent reliable sources that indicate how your company meets the notability guidelines for companies. As it stands now I'm not sure that it does, given the newness of the label; it may be too soon for an article as your label may not have been written about in enough independent reliable sources. If you have such sources, please offer them here, or on the article's talk page. 331dot (talk) 21:36, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
