Possible conflict of interest

When I created your account, I noticed that you work for a University as a Senior Research Assistant. I would refer you to the guidelines on Conflict of Interest (see here).

If your intention is to edit articles about the University (or yourself), I would suggest that anything that you want to add/change/remove is discussed on the relevant talk page (just click at the top of the article's page on the discussion tab) - and provide reliable and independent sources for anything to be changed (see Wikipedia:Independent sources and Wikipedia:Reliable sources). Also declare your connection with the University.

If your intention is to create an article about the University (or yourself), I would suggest that you put a request in at Requested Articles, explaining your connection to the company, and what you would like to be put into an article. Ideally, this would include sources of information that are reliable and independent of the University.

If your intention is to edit in other areas, then please accept my apologies — as you will no doubt appreciate, we have a lot of people who create accounts to edit areas in which they are personally involved!

Enjoy editing here, and if you have any questions, ask for help by using any of the methods mentioned in my welcome message above!

Speedy deletion nomination of Edith Neville

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Edith Neville requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. BusterD (talk) 13:44, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
