User talk:State Youth Orchestra of Armenia

Welcome!
Hello, State Youth Orchestra of Armenia, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was State Youth Orchestra of Armenia, which 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. 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.

The one firm 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.)

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also 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: 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! GregJackP  Boomer!   03:28, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure where to begin, but I'll try. There's no such thing as an "official wiki page" - Wikipedia articles on a given subject are controlled entirely by the community of Wikipedia editors collectively.  So any article you write is going to be re-written, expanded, re-arranged by other authors - often in ways you may not like.  Furthermore, all content in Wikipedia is licenced under both the CC-BY-SA 2.0 licence, and the GNU free document licence, meaning that anybody can re-use it, for anything they like, provided they follow a couple requirements (mostly, atttribute the original author, and relicence any derivitive works under the same licence).  It's possible, if you represent the State Youth Orchestra, and they want to licence the text for anyone to use, for whatever they want, forever, there's information on that here: Donating copyrighted materials - although I'd advise against it - material you'd publish about yourself is almost never suitable for Wikipedia anyways, and copyright holders who imagine they have control over a Wikipedia page are almost always upset with the outcome when they discover that's not the case.  If you have more questions, feel free to ask.  Cheers, Wily D  09:36, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you.
