Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Nancy Mercado do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

February 2012[edit]

Hello Solomonmercado. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 99.12.242.7 (talk) 04:34, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. 99.12.242.7 (talk) 04:34, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia 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. 99.12.242.7 (talk) 05:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

it's also clear that WP:OWNERSHIP is an issue. I've already brought this up at a noticeboard, and will be more specific per your involvement. 99.12.242.7 (talk) 05:18, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nancy Mercado[edit]

Hi - please don't remove article clean up templates without addressing the issues raised - the article appears to need the attention of some experienced editors and the templates help to attract them - thanks - Youreallycan 06:08, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nancy Mercado Page[edit]

Any constructive advice and/or help is very much appreciated. However, if the page is over edited or vandalized I will report it. Any materials used have been cited and have been cleared to be used by their authors. Please do not assume that the article's subject and this editor are related solely on same surname.Solomonmercado (talk) 06:37, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've already 'reported' it. Actually, none of the article is properly cited. At the moment one reference is listed, and it doesn't connect inline to any of the article's content. It's also referred to as a 'personal interview', which implies it's first-person, unpublished, and would not be an acceptable reference--perhaps you can clarify this in case I'm misunderstanding. I'm also not sure what 'cleared to use by their authors' means. Could you clarify whether the Wikipedia article has been copied from this site [1], or vice-versa? As for conflict of interest, not only does your username suggest it, but so does your edit history as a single-purpose account. The subject merits a credible, sourced article, and my hope is that some objective editors will facilitate that. 99.12.242.7 (talk) 13:56, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've restored the copypaste tag, because it appears that at least part--the entire 'Life' section, for instance-- if not most of the article has been copied. I'd be happy to learn otherwise, but in the meantime the continued removal of justifiable maintenance tags can be considered disruptive. 99.12.242.7 (talk) 14:09, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First, it doesn't matter whether you've "reported" whatever or not. Second, for your information I have edited other Wiki pages albeit not as much as this one that I created. I happen to have a job. Finally, I have reported this as vandalism.Solomonmercado (talk) 18:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The IP's edits aren't vandalism. Please address the concerns that have been raised concerning copy/paste and sourcing issues. Please do not remove maintenance tags unless the issues have been addressed, and please remember that you may not assert editorial control (reversion of "over editing") over the page: see WP:OWN, as well as WP:V, WP:RS and WP:BLP..Acroterion (talk) 18:48, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What Acroterion says. We are interested in a good and complete article, of course, but it would have to be written in neutral language and contain verified information. Lists of publications are not necessarily included; in general, it's a good idea to list publications that have been reviewed, for instance. The EL section also was not in accordance with our guidelines. I hope you will continue to edit but it will have to be according to our guidelines--and it rarely is a good idea to edit an article with which one is intricately involved. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 20:27, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article in the latest version that you edited was a direct copy of this [2], which is clearly noted as copyrighted. I can't tell which came first: the Wikipedia text or the Latinoauthor.com text, but it's not good practice to copy either to Wikipedia from an external source, or to copy from Wikipedia without attribution, which is required by Wikipedia's copyright. Since that source in any case appears to be user-generated, it can't be used. It appears that there are other sources available, which I hope you'll use to write a neutral, well-sourced article, with preference given to reviewed academic sources.

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
