Welcome

Hello IDOGDirector, and welcome to Wikipedia. I hope that you have enjoyed contributing and want to stick around. Here are some tips to help you get started:

• Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
• Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~) to automatically insert your username and the date.
• Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
• Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
• Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
• When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
• Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
• Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
• If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
• If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.

If you need any more information, plenty of help is available - check out Wikipedia:Questions; ask your question here and attract help with the code {{helpme}}; or leave me a message on my talk page explaining your problem and I will help as best as I can.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a few moments to create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message. Thank you.

{{unblock|My username is not a group, organization or a website, it is who "I" am. In addition, I can not create a new account, as you instructed, because you seem to have also blocked my IP address. Which I am unclear as to why blocking my IP would be warranted there has been no activity justify doing this. Because you have blocked me I am unable to also respond to the suggestion that the page I built (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:IDOGDirector/Enter_your_new_article_name_here) was an advertisement, so I will point out the following page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humane_Society_of_Indianapolis) that are on Wikipedia which follow a similar format of information. I am also unclear as to exactly how many references in publications, newspapers and books as well as television it would require to be considered notable. I do not see any references to how many that is within the Wikipedia site.}}
