User talk:Patricia Hewitt Choby

Welcome
Hello, Patricia Hewitt Choby, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

 * Help pages

 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 00:44, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Patricia Hewitt Choby. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Romper Room, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 00:45, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Romper Room. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 01:22, 30 March 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems like you are simply ignoring the warnings above and that you don't understand how Wikipedia works. You cannot add whatever content you like without supporting it with reliable sources.  Also, judging by your username, it appears that you may be writing about yourself.  This is strongly discouraged.  Please don't add the content again or you will be blocked from editing.  If you have questions about this, please ask.  I you feel strongly that the content should be included, let's work together to do so in compliance with Wikipedia policy.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 09:33, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
