Welcome!

Hello, Joelocksmith, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Padlock does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. 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! Or, you can 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:

Hi Joe, and welcome to Wikipedia.
It seems you've had a bit of a rough start here. Please take a moment and review the information you find above in Tommy's welcome note, the FAQ for businesses, and also the note you have received on your previous account, Sesamee. As it said there, your conflict of interest and the promotional nature your edit go against one of Wikipedia's most central principles, maintaining a neutral point of view.
If you have any questions about this, feel very free to ask here, I will keep your talk page on my watchlist. Do not simply repeat your edit though without discussing it first though.
Thank you, Amalthea 19:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
