It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Copyright problem: Draft:Wildcard Theatre Company[edit]

Hello W0203914! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Draft:Wildcard Theatre Company, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted material from other websites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from https://www.wildcardtheatre.co.uk/about https://www.wildcardtheatre.co.uk/, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate your contributions, copying content from other websites is unlawful and against Wikipedia's copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are likely to lose their editing privileges.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 08:35, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you seem to have again created content in your sandbox which looks likely to be either copyvio or close paraphrasing of the theatre website. You really need to be careful not to do that. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:04, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there.

Thank you for getting touch and wonder if I can get in touch. I'm so confused, as the theatre website is now closed. And have researched and written up the history about this company. So don't know why I can't post it? W0203914 (talk) 14:06, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The theatre website is live, and has content which our copyvio detector reports as 'possible violation', with numerous passages completely or nearly identical to the text on the website. The message above explains what you need to do to comply with copyright rules. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:10, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. I will have a go again, and write it out originally. How can I delete the other page? or just start a new one? W0203914 (talk) 15:30, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, W0203914. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Wildcard Theatre Company, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

October 2023[edit]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:W0203914, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=W0203914|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:05, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
