November 2023 edit

  Hello, I'm JalenFolf. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Draft:Elana Mann have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Jalen Folf (talk) 23:09, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Draft talk:Elana Mann. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

  Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Draft:Elana Mann, you may be blocked from editing. Jalen Folf (talk) 23:17, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at Draft:Elana Mann. Jalen Folf (talk) 23:22, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia! edit

 Welcome Sflore163!
Hello Sflore163. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions!

I'm Ad Orientem, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge.

Some pages of helpful information to get you started:
    Introduction to Wikipedia
    The five pillars of Wikipedia
    Editing tutorial
    How to edit a page
    Simplified Manual of Style
    The basics of Wikicode
    How to develop an article
    How to create an article
    Help pages
    What Wikipedia is not
Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:
    Do be bold
    Do assume good faith
    Do be civil
    Do keep cool!
    Do maintain a neutral point of view
    Don't spam
    Don't infringe copyright
    Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest
    Don't commit vandalism
    Don't get blocked
If you need further help, you can:
    Ask a question
or you can:
    Get help at the Teahouse
or even:
    Ask an experienced editor to "adopt" you

Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type {{Help me}} here on your talk page and someone will try to help.

There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
    Fight vandalism
    Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
    Help contribute to articles
    Perform maintenance tasks
           
    Become a member of a project that interests you
    Help design new templates
    Subscribe and contribute to The Signpost
    Translate articles from Wikipedias in other languages

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own personal sandbox for use any time. It's perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Please remember to:

  • Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the   button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp.
  • Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

Your Draft edit

  Administrator note Your draft is currently completely unsourced, is written in a manner that sounds highly promotional and has no clear claim to encyclopedic notability. In its current form there is no possibility it will be accepted. Please review our guidelines and policies regarding articles linked above. In particular please read WP:CITE, WP:ANYBIO and WP:V. Promotional editing of any kind is not allowed on the encyclopedia. If you have a connection to the subject of the draft you must declare this per WP:COI. If the daft is not improved in short order it is likely to deleted. Thank you for your contributions to the project. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:26, 26 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Sflore163. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Elana Mann, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Ad Orientem (talk) 00:32, 27 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Welcome edit

Hello, Sflore163 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Belbury (talk) 15:15, 12 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
