Welcome

Hello, Onotomatic, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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 reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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 your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

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. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Gurt Posh (talk) 09:58, 17 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Re: AfC

I suggest you read the information on peacock words to see what kind of language is factual and encylopedic and what kind isn't. Things like, "It enjoyed unprecedented success throughout the early 20th century" and "70 years later it is still considered by many pen connoisseurs to be one of the finest fountain pens ever made" (in fact, that second sentence is problematic in a variety of ways - "considered by many" is weasel words. Be factual. Who are these "many"? And a sentence like that can't exist in a wikipedia article without a reliable source to back it up either) are completely unsuitably worded. I also suggest taking a look at already existing articles on similar subjects to take note of how they are written. My advice is to stick to the bare facts and figures - the ones that can be backed up with reliable sources. If it's not properly sourced it won't pass review. Best of luck, and feel free to ask any other questions (although in future please leave talk page messages at the very bottom of the talk page). OohBunnies!
