Proposed deletion of Madeline Pumariega

edit
 

The article Madeline Pumariega has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Floridacollegesystem. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Madeline Pumariega, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 20:21, 18 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Username - issue

edit

Hello, I see you're editing on behalf an organisation. Thank you for registering an account - this is a good decision in order to have your activity authenticated and traceable. However, there are issues regarding paid editing on topics you are connected to, and I've added an explanation of this below. In particular, please don't add promotional material or text published under copyright elsewhere (like on your organisation's website), or material that is not neutral in tone.

Also Wikipedia doesn't allow accounts that sound like they belong to a company or a department, only ones that belong to specific people - so 'NicolaSmith@Floridacollegesystem' would be fine, 'Floridacollegesystem' isn't. So you may soon be asked to reregister under an account that's personal to you, the person sitting typing stuff into the keyboard, or file a name change request. Any questions just let me know.
