User talk:Thisisbanks

Welcome
Hello, Thisisbanks, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was Mr. BANKS, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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! Dai Pritchard (talk) 13:54, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mr. BANKS

 * Unotable singer with very few links

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Removing AfD template
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Mr. BANKS. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Thisisbanks. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Mr. BANKS, you may have a conflict of interest.

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. While people with a close connection to a subject are not expressly prohibited from editing about that subject, and are often the kind of enthusiastic writers Wikipedia very much needs and appreciates, they will need to be especially careful about ensuring that their edits are supported by reliable sources and writing with as little personal bias as possible. Statements added to an article under the premise, "I know this is true because I am an expert on the subject", are considered unsubstantiated unless accompanied by citations to such sources, and maybe flagged or removed by other editors if they are not.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of potential problems:


 * Exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products with which they are involved.
 * Avoid linking from your organization's web site to the Wikipedia article or vice versa (see Spam).
 * Consider disclosing your relationship to the organization or product you are writing about. If you don't, you may be in breach of Wikipedia's Terms of Use (see these guidelines for more information about how and where to do this).
 * Become familiar 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. 331dot (talk) 12:13, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
