Cake decorating

The article was deleted originally by Merope under criterion G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, meaning the text was a copyright violation. She indicated that the text came from multiple places, but I'm not sure exactly where. Does this make sense to you? Did the text come from another place or did you write it in your own words for Wikipedia? Leebo ^T/C 13:20, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I had read the Wikipedia guidelines regarding neutrality and was very careful not to reference any of my friends or connections. The guidelines I read for new Wikipedia authors said that it is not against policy to reference our own work if that is the only work we know of with the information being cited. Thank you for these further policy notes. I will proceed with caution as you suggest.

Boilerplate notice

Since you indicate on your userpage that you work in the cake decorating business, I presume that you were motivated to share some of your expertise in that field with the world at large. Nonetheless, I will give you the following standard notice about what not to write in that article.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);

   and you must always:

4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Thank you. Shalom ^Hello 06:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Spam in Cookie bouquet

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Cookie bouquet, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Cookie bouquet is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Cookie bouquet, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
