Welcome[edit]

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

I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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 reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

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 {{helpme}} 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.

Please do not add a long list of survivors to the article about Harry L. Sears unless the people listed are notable for some reason or another. Thank you --Admrboltz (talk) 02:34, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is that you have a conflict of interest potentially. You need to be able to be neutral when editing, and be able to back all information added with verifiable sources. Keep this in mind when editing. --Admrboltz (talk) 02:49, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To remove the Jr. just edit the article and remove the Jr. from the article. --Admrboltz (talk) 02:51, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Speedy deletion of "Judy Sears Schmidt"[edit]

A page you created, Judy Sears Schmidt, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Tiderolls 08:21, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
