User talk:LaurenAlexS
Hello, LaurenAlexS, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.
The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
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 your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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! RadioFan (talk) 02:37, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Lauren scott
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Lauren scott requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lauren scott

A tag has been placed on Lauren scott requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ... discospinster talk 14:41, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 16
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lauren Scott, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page M-16 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

About your edits.
[edit]Hi! I noticed you added a lot of material to the Lauren Scott page. (That's a good picture.) Since your name is so close to the subject, people are going to ask if you have a connection to the subject. As a fellow editor, I'd advise that if you do happen to be connected to the subject, that you hold off on adding stuff directly to the article, and try suggesting the material on the talk page for that article instead. Some of your additions are strongly sourced, others will probably be removed. Try not to worry too much about the short term as it's usually less drama to build an article over time. Please read Wikipedia:Autobiography, as it outlines many of the concerns people have about subjects writing Wikipedia pages about themselves. In the short term you'll get the information in that you want, but in the long-term, that banner warning people about your direct involvement will be the first thing people see. It also prompts editors to help remove anything that seems like self-promotion, which can sometimes have the unfortunate effect of removing positive material that would have been left alone if it had been added by a non-involved editor. Again, please review Wikipedia:Autobiography for more comprehensive advice than I've offered here.__ E L A Q U E A T E 14:12, 16 June 2014 (UTC)
- After reviewing what's happened over the last two weeks, it seems you haven't given much notice to the above advice. You may feel you're being perfectly neutral, but other editors are going to see your edits as campaigning. You are risking the appearance of polishing your own statue, and that could offset any advantage you have from an excessively detailed Wikipedia article. If you are directly connected with the campaign there are better ways to be involved in suggesting changes. I have to say that a lot of your recent additions would be fine on a LinkedIn page, but are arguably not strongly sourced enough for a Wikipedia page. It's better to have a smaller, stronger article than one overloaded with small detail that people can see as a self-promotional autobiography. Please consider Wikipedia:Autobiography and consider keeping your edits to correcting obvious mistakes and making suggestions to non conflict-of-interest editors on the talk page. __ E L A Q U E A T E 05:49, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
Despite your COI, I want to thank you for your edits. I have not scrutinized the article to the fullest extent, but I think you've done a great job and I hope you continue trying to improve Wikipedia. Thanks again! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:42, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
