Copyright Violation
{{subst:User:ArielGold/copy}}

Dear ArielGold, welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate you coming here to contribute, but please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Article. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. Please review Wikipedia's copyright policy prior to adding material. Copying and pasting from another site (as you did word-for-word from this site) is not allowed. If you wish to include the material you read there, you'll need to summarize, paraphrase, condense, and then feel free to submit it to the article. (See the following: Cite your sources, Manual of style, Layout guide, First article, Article development and How to edit for assistance.) Have a great day! - ArielGold 06:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

First Article
{{subst:User:ArielGold/fa1}}

Dear ArielGold, hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'd like to take this opportunity to provide information related to creating articles. First, make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please review the following relevant policies and guidelines. Remember, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so articles must not contain original research, should cite to reliable sources which verify their content, must be written from a neutral point of view, and can not contain unsourced, negative content about living people, and finally, must not be copied from any other source.

In addition, articles need to assert the notability of the subject. Please see our subject-specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content. Also be aware that if you are closely associated with the subject, (or are writing about yourself) the conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating or editing the article.

If you still think your article is appropriate, see Help:Starting a new page. You might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. If you would prefer to get input prior to creating the article, to avoid the possibility that it may be deleted, feel free to post your suggestions at the articles for creation page. Sincerely, ArielGold 06:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Spam Article
{{subst:User:ArielGold/spam}}

Dear ArielGold, an article you created, appears to an advertisement pretending to be an article. Articles considered advertisements include those that are endorsements for a business, corporation, person, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual. When an article on an otherwise encyclopedic topic has the tone of an advertisement, the article can sometimes be salvaged by rewriting it in a neutral point of view, adding context, with historical relevance or community recognition, and providing reliable sources in citation style to establish the subject's notability. Of course, the need for sources goes beyond notability. Information added to an article must be verifiable, and facts included must be attributed to the reliable source. Please also see Wikipedia's guideline concerning conflicts of interest, as it would be difficult for you to remain neutral if you are associated with the subject of the article, and would be against the guideline for you to create or edit the article. Instead, you could request a neutral editor do so, or if the article exists, request changes on the talk page, explaining your conflict of interest. Additionally, you may wish to review the following: Manual of style, Layout guide, First article, Article development and How to edit for assistance. I hope this information is helpful!

Conflict of Interest
{{subst:User:ArielGold/coi}}

Dear ArielGold, hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope to not seem unfriendly, but I'd like to bring to your attention the conflict of interest guideline which explains the potential incompatibility between the purpose of Wikipedia to produce a neutral, verifiable encyclopedia, and the purposes of an individual editor. Conflict of interest editing often involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote yourself, your friends or family, or the interests of other individuals, companies, or groups you are closely associated with. When an editor disregards the aims of Wikipedia to advance outside interests, they stand in a conflict. Please review this guideline, and you may wish to also review the notability guidelines as well. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia, and I hope you'll find many helpful areas! Sincerely, ArielGold 06:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Username Concern
{{subst:User:ArielGold/w6|the reason}}
confusing misleading disruptive promotional offensive

Dear ArielGold, hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope to not seem unfriendly, but I'd like to invite you to have a look at the Wikipedia username policy before editing, specifically Inappropriate usernames. I'm concerned that your username possibly may not adhere to this policy, specifically with regards to (reason). If you feel the concerns are justified, perhaps you'd consider creating a new name, using those guidelines for what to avoid. If your user name is found to be a problem, there is the chance that this account could get blocked, so creating a new name before you have many edits, would allow you to contribute without disruption of your contribution history. Finally, thank you for your interest in Wikipedia, and we hope you'll find many helpful areas! Sincerely, ArielGold 06:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
