Hello! MBmanagement, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you'd like to drop by the Teahouse and discuss the article, the experienced hosts at the Teahouse would be glad to see if they can offer improvement suggestions... and that may lead to the article becoming accepted.

Welcome!

Hello, MBmanagement, 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. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. 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 or the Teahouse, 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:

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! Nathan2055talk 21:43, 8 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Morris Brothers

edit

Hi MBmanagement, In answer to your question about what is wrong with your Articles for Creation request (Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Morris Brothers), the issue is with the sources you are using in the article. The sources you provided are generally not accepted in Wikipedia's reliable source guidelines as required by the verifiability policy. As a rule, for a subject to meet the criteria for inclusion for an article on Wikipedia, it must meet the General Notability Guidelines. In this case, Morris Brothers must have received significant coverage, in reliable sources, that are independent of the company. The most commonly used example of this is a newspaper article written about the company. If you can find something like that, there will be no issues. The second concern regards the way your references are presented. The formatting templates are found by reading Wikipedia:CITE#Citation_templates_and_tools.
