Welcome!

Hello, Beckishort042, and welcome to Wikipedia!

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 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.

{{adminhelp}} I didn't realise that I was doing something wrong with the page I created, as there are lots of jewellery designers on here, with links to their websites. If you can tell me what to do to make it right then I would like to keep the page, if not can you just delete it as soon as possible please.

Don't worry, you did the right thing by putting {{db-author}} on it, and it has gone. Also, don't apologise; we are not as good as we should be about making clear what Wikipedia is not for, but one of the things it is not for is advertising or promotion of any kind. We strongly discourage people from writing about themselves or their own businesses, because that is a conflict of interest. Also, we don't have articles about every company (or every person, band, book... ) - any article subject has to be notable, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."

The WP:FAQ/Organizations has a lot of good advice, and so does WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
