Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page.

Conflict of interest

Hey Angeles, welcome to Wikipedia. Just wanted to leave a note that if you have any affiliation with the subjects about which you write, our conflict of interest guidelines ask that you declare the nature of your interest on the related articles' talk pages when you edit. czar 02:53, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am far from new to Wikipedia. I have declared my affiliation with the project in the past and it has been determined by previous parties that I am not contributing to the articles in a fashion that would be subject to the conflict of interest guidelines, so I suggest you start reading these policies properly instead of seeing what you want to see and jumping to harassment. I myself have not done anything other than minor edits that did not influence the content of the articles at all, the reverts I have made have been in line with Wikipedia policy which require adequate discussion before acting on a deletion.

It's not out of line (or "harassment") to leave a brief note reminding someone of our COI guidelines, nor is it crazy to think that someone who has made less than 100 edits over the course of a decade may not be aware of the guideline. Czar hasn't done anything wrong, and honestly, this is one of the main reasons we have the COI guidelines - people take things so personally when getting critiqued about something they have close ties to. Please, focus less on Czar, and more on providing sources that satisfy the GNG. (I wouldn't stop yet, many of the sources listed thus far are obscure blogs or user-generated...)

WP:DCOI - If you become involved in an article where you have a general COI (including a financial COI) that does not involve being paid to edit Wikipedia, you may do two things: first, place the "connected contributor" template at the top of affected talk pages. Second, you may disclose the COI on your Userpage. You may either make a personal statement to this effect or you may insert a specially designed "userbox" template, "UserboxCOI" - User:Czar was already well aware of who I was because I already made a personal statement on my user page as per the guidelines. Note that neither of these are mandatory (wording says "you may do two things"). I suggest you guys stop WP:HOUNDING me on my talk page for something that was already done well before this discussion even started.

I'm sorry you feel hounded or harassed by simple notifications. That's not their intention. I just meant to inform you that Czar was nowhere near the threshold of having action taken against him for harassment or hounding, so you may as well focus on the real issue at hand, the article itself. I'll stay off your page from here on out though, unless an unrelated need for a notification occurs. Thanks. Sergecross73 msg me 12:39, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A cheeseburger for you!

May 2016

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Red Eclipse. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. czar 03:17, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
