Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: NO REASON GIVEN. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Hi Ros,

I'm not sure how to reply to your message. Actually, this is the first time we are using the site and trying to create a page. Is there some sort of layout available or information as to what to do? Do you have to complete the page before you submit it? We wanted to get it up here and then just add content in the future, when we figure out how this site works. Any tutorials or suggestions?

THanks, Taco Rack.com

Thanks for the quick reply! I see there are many product pages, can we write one for ours? I know in the first message you mentioned something about advertising. We wanted to write about the history of our product, the uses, fuctions, etc. Our spokesmodel, Kay O'Hara, has a page here and links to our website. Is that ok? We aren't really sure what we are allowed to write about without it bordering the sites lines for promoting or advertising. We do have a website, and do sell our product, but is that not allowed? Can we write about it and just leave out the links? We're a little confused...  I think the page was deleted already because I don't have access to it and it says it doesn't exist.
