A belated welcome!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Spycoops. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia: Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.
 * Introduction
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on, consult Questions, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! meco (talk) 14:38, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Links
Hello, I'm Vectro. I wanted to let you know that I removed external links you added to a few different healthcare articles, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Hello, Spycoops. 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 COI 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 COI 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. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:22, 16 September 2018 (UTC)


 * Using your blog as a source for multiple articles looks like spamming. 2601:188:180:1481:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 00:22, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Hi and thanks for your message on my talk page. I reverted a number of your edits because you added an external link to the middle of the text in articles which is not accepted here. Please do not do this again. Thank you for clarifying your connection with this topic and potential conflict of interest. However, even if your website is noncommercial, adding links to it yourself is inappropriate under those guidelines. If you really think a link to something you have written (or are connected to in another way) has value for the encyclopedia then as the above conflict of interest guidelines state, you should propose the addition of the link on the article's talk page and then someone else can review and decide whether it is appropriate to include, and it can be added in the appropriate place rather than in the middle of the article's text. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 01:27, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
