Welcome!
Hello, Sigrhoemt, 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:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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. Again, welcome! Grayfell (talk) 06:11, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Sigma Beta Rho. 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. Grayfell (talk) 06:19, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Sigma Beta Rho
Hello. If you would like to correct information about Sigma Beta Rho, you're welcome to do that, however, it's important to do so in a WP:NEUTRAL way, and using WP:RELIABLE sources. Please avoid using vague terms that sound impressive, but are not clearly meaningful, such as "has grown considerably", "span the breadth of the nation", "which prides itself" etc. These are not neutral, and are considered WP:PEACOCK words, which are to be avoided. Again, Including reliable sources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 06:25, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Oh! One other thing, and this is very important. do not insert copyrighted material into Wikipedia even if you represent the copyright holder. Copyright violations, (Copyright violations) are taken very seriously. You might find this useful: Text Copyright Violations 101. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 06:28, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Seriously, copy-pasting from official material is not acceptable. Don't do it again. Grayfell (talk) 06:30, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello Grayfell, I am not copy-pasting from official material. I am the National Director of MIS for Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc. and I created the web content for both our national website and this page. Please do not alter this page content again as it is against content approved by Sigma Beta Rho. Please stop altering our page.


 * Sorry, but no. Your edits match content that has previously been published, as can easily be determined by a quick Google search. For this reason, it will be considered a WP:COPYVIO. Additionally, you do not own the page. Please review the above information about editing with a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not a platform for you to promote your organization.
