InsideSiliconAlley
Hello, InsideSiliconAlley, 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 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. 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:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Manual of Style
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! (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 19:22, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
How to remove the userspace template
editHello! You have to manually remove the userspace code to make the alert go away. Edit your article, and remove the {{Userspace draft|source=ArticleWizard|date=April 2010}} code from the top of the article and it will go away. :) Good luck! Pianotech (talk) 01:08, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

My name is Courtney Boyd Meyers and I'm the feature editor for The Next Web (http://thenextweb.com/author/courtneybmyers/). I've written two articles on Andrew Weinreich (http://thenextweb.com/entrepreneur/2011/07/30/where-are-they-now-new-york-citys-dot-com-entrepreneurs-part-one/5/ and http://www.huffingtonpost.com/courtney-boyd-myers/meetmoi-wants-to-pay-for-_b_768820.html ). I've been in touch with InsideSiliconAlley and validated all the links and historical accuracy of this article as well as would like to add two new links of articles that came out in the past month referencing Weinreich as the founder of social networking (http://technology.plidd.com/facebooks-ipo-marks-the-end-of-the-web-2-0-era-the-social-web-is-the-new-king/
http://www.usatoday.com/video/facebook-vs-google/1427765045001 ). Because of the historical significance of social networking particularly in light of the impending Facebook IPO, I would like to assume authorship of this piece and see it undeleted. This is with the permission of InsideSiliconAlley.
