User talk:Perley J. Thibodeau

Welcome!

Hello, Perley J. Thibodeau, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Bangor, Maine, 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. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account.

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.

June 2012[edit]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Bangor, Maine. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Your books must meet the Wikipedia:Notability (books) guideline. NeilN ^{talk to me} 20:58, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your feedback[edit]

Because your books are not notable (they don't have enough coverage in reliable, independent sources), you adding them into Wikipedia articles is considered promotional. You probably want to stick to editing topics unrelated to yourself, to avoid a conflict of interest.
