An extended welcome
Hi SavageAlpaca7. Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you don't mind if I share some of my thoughts on starting out as a new editor on Wikipedia: If I could get editors in your situation to follow just one piece of advice, it would be this: Learn Wikipedia by working only on non-contentious topics until you have a feel for the normal editing process and the policies that usually come up when editing casually. You'll find editing to be fun, easy, and rewarding. The rare disputes are resolved quickly and easily.

Working on biographical information about living persons is far more difficult. Wikipedia's Biographies of living persons policy requires strict adherence to multiple content policies, and applies to all information about living persons including talk pages.

If you have a relationship with the topics you want to edit, then you will need to review Wikipedia's Conflict of interest policy, which may require you to disclose your relationship and restrict your editing depending upon how you are affiliated with the subject matter.

Some topic areas within Wikipedia have special editing restrictions that apply to all editors. It's best to avoid these topics until you are extremely familiar with all relevant policies and guidelines.

I hope you find some useful information in all this, and welcome again. --Ronz (talk) 17:14, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Editing with a possible conflict of interest
Hello, SavageAlpaca7. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.--SamHolt6 (talk) 18:07, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Famousbirthdays.com as a source
Hi SavageAlpaca7. I noticed that you recently used famousbirthdays.com as a source for biographical information in Noah Hayden. Please note that there is general consensus that famousbirthdays.com does not meet the reliable sourcing criteria for the inclusion of personal information in such articles. (See Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_153). If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 18:59, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Witt Lowry


A tag has been placed on Witt Lowry requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Theroadislong (talk) 13:11, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, NF (rapper), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Could you please look at Template:Infobox musical artist and explain on the article's talk page how the acts you added meet the criteria? Also check your additions using preview and follow the links. Several of the ones you added are not articles about people or bands.'' Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:30, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. You did not seem to read the documentation. Let me quote it for you here: "one-time collaboration for a single song" "should be avoided".
 * Ruelle is a disambiguation article. Ruelle (singer) is the musician article, but as they worked on only one song together and do not have a "professional relationship" which is "significant and notable to [NF's] career", he should not be listed as an associated act.
 * Marty is a disambiguation article. There is no article for a musician using that mononym.
 * In short, there needs to be a lengthy discussion about all of the times NF has worked with a suspected associated act in the article itself before it could be considered an associated act. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:29, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
