Welcome!

[edit]

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

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was American Society for Bariatric Surgery, which 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 undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. 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. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

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. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --Drm310 (talk) 15:20, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:ASMBS Logo.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:ASMBS Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:22, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi LaKeshia! There are some issues with your recent edits to the above referenced article, which have been removed or restored to the former version. Promotional content has been removed, as well as content that did not meet the encyclopedia's policies due to copyright violations. Maintenance templates have additionally been restored. It is important that you do not remove the maintenance templates without resolving the issues to which they refer. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. That said, even if content is donated, we cannot use material that is wholly promotional in nature. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 22:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Cindy(talk to me) 22:24, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
