Welcome!

Hello, Rmarcinkowski, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. 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 (if it hasn't already).

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 {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

• Your first article
• Biographies of Living Persons
• How to write a great article
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Help pages
• Tutorial

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 Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!

re: COI

Hi there--I just wanted to make clear that your COI doesn't automatically preclude you from creating or editing those articles. Wikipedia discourages that kind of editing because it usually turns into thinly disguised advertising (as you'll see if you hang aroung the COI noticeboard for a while). You've disclosed your COI, so as long as you adhere to the most important policies (e.g. reliable sourcing and neutral point of view) and don't interfere with other editors' attempts to improve the article, there shouldn't be any problems.
