Your message on my talk page[edit]

Thanks for the message. "Spammy" means "promotional" - which is not permitted by Wikipedia policy, see WP:Spam. Like any encyclopedia, Wikipedia has inclusion criteria and the principal one is notability, which for companies is explained further at WP:CORP. In order to demonstrate notability the article must cite non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 13:02, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Coverlifestudios) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. 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.
