{{Hidden|style=width: 50%;|contentstyle=text-align: left;|1=How do I create citations?|2=#Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for. 
 * 1) Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
 * 2) In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
 * 3) Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
 * 4) Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like, copy the whole thing).
 * 5) In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
 * 6) If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:

Hello DCMeganHallar. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 following 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. NtheP (talk) 18:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Double Cola
Please do not convert the article into an advert. Articles on Wikipedia must be neutral, your edits have changed it into an advert for the company and it's products. As the above warning says if you are connected with the firm and cannot write about it in a neutral fashion then you should avoid editing the article. NtheP (talk) 18:31, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Double Cola. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. --Chris (talk) 18:37, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Advertising and promotion
Howdy and welcome to Wikipedia. It is generally considered unacceptable to have an employee or close relation of an article's subject editing the article. This usually constitutes a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not a good forum for advertising or promotion; one of our core values is neutral point of view, a standard all editors need to uphold. Please stop editing Double Cola or you may be blocked from editing entirely. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. --TeaDrinker (talk) 19:10, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Double Cola, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. TeaDrinker (talk) 19:12, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

I understand your concern. I am new to Wikipedia. I would like to write in a neutral fashion and know how to do so. My intention is not to promote Double-Cola, but to have factual information on the product on this web page. The current information is not entirely correct and needs to be changed. I will reference the new information.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  19:21, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I appreciate your suggestions and will act accordingly.

Hello, I have read the following information under Wikipedia’s Username Policy. “User accounts with few or no edits will not normally be renamed, as it is quicker and easier to simply create a new account.” “It is not possible to delete user accounts” “It is recommended that contributors not use multiple accounts without good reason” “It is recommended that multiple accounts be identified as such on their user pages; templates such as User alternative account may be used for this purpose.”

I would like to create a new account and just not use DCMeganHallar. May I change my name to SchoenenTag? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DCMeganHallar (talk • contribs)


 * Yes, see the instructions at WP:CHUS. --Chris (talk) 13:34, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
