Welcome, W0203914!


Welcome to Wikipedia, W0203914! I'm I dream of horses, and I've been assigned as your mentor. Around 10% of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor randomly taken from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

 * Hi, you seem to have again created content in your sandbox which looks likely to be either copyvio or close paraphrasing of the theatre website. You really need to be careful not to do that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello there.
 * Thank you for getting touch and wonder if I can get in touch. I'm so confused, as the theatre website is now closed. And have researched and written up the history about this company. So don't know why I can't post it? W0203914 (talk) 14:06, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * The theatre website is live, and has content which our copyvio detector reports as 'possible violation', with numerous passages completely or nearly identical to the text on the website. The message above explains what you need to do to comply with copyright rules. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:10, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Understood. I will have a go again, and write it out originally. How can I delete the other page? or just start a new one? W0203914 (talk) 15:30, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:W0203914, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:.
