Welcome
Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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! Or, you can just type   on this 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. Again, welcome! Toddst1 (talk) 20:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Toddst1 (talk) 20:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Dave Westlake
I have nominated Dave Westlake, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Dave Westlake. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Irbisgreif (talk) 20:41, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Toddst1 (talk) 21:54, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, my bad - was trying to add the content to make it notable. WIgopConservative (talk) 04:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for understanding. For the record, although the article you wrote didn't meet content policies, I don't think you've violated any behavioral policies, and I wouldn't have supported a block for your actions. Melchoir (talk) 05:11, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Melchoir is right. You wouldn't have been blocked for your actions. However we at Wikipedia have a long history of candidates and elected officials being active on Wikipedia to promote themselves and their causes. We tend to look very carefully to ensure that Wikipedia isn't used as a platform for political gain. It appears my warning was a bit harsh.  Let me know if I can be of assistance.
