Welcome!
Hello, Pandora Selfridge, 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 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 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Pandora Selfridge


A tag has been placed on User:Pandora Selfridge, 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 appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://pandoraselfridge.wix.com/pandora-selfridge#!biography/c1enr. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 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 "Click here to 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. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 14:00, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I rewrote the text without copyright infringement. When you say "It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals", why does Pandora Selfridge, who is a concert pianist who has been medaled at two international prizes (Bösendorfer and Yamaha USASU International Piano Competition & Hilton Head International Piano Competition) and who also won the "Alabama Young Pianist Award" would be not considered as enough significant while someone as Jehan Stefan for example ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:FilmMusicAgency/Jehan_Stefan ) is considered as such ?Pandora Selfridge (talk) 10:17, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

The Wikipedia and your userpage is not the place for self promotion, this falls under WP:WHYNOT and WP:ASFAQ. You have some claim to significance and perhaps do meet WP:MUSICBIO but I cannot personal verify your sources (this does not mean they are invalid it just means I cannot verify them) and a websearch only brings up self promotional material and websites. This page should be moved in the draft space until it has a review by an editor without a Conflict of interest,WikiProject Articles for creation. If you would like me to move the page to a draft space please let me know and I will be happy to do this. - McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 13:25, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
