I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Please don't remove valid references from articles and also note that [1] is not a reliable source. Material added to Wikipedia articles must be referenced to reliable and non-promotional sources. Vsmith (talk) 01:16, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

Please read the conflict of interest policy. Vsmith (talk) 00:04, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Zoomedia9) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--Atlan (talk) 22:09, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Your DRN listing

I am a Dispute Resolution Noticeboard mediator/clerk. I've closed your request at that forum because we cannot provide the remedy which you are seeking, deletion of the page. Since your Proposed Deletion tag was removed from the article, the next step is to list the article at Articles for Deletion. Please be sure to strictly and completely follow the instructions on that page or your deletion request may not be reviewed. By the way, any editor may remove a Proposed Deletion tag without giving any explanation or reason, so the editor who removed the tag was not violating any rules by doing so. An Articles for Deletion tag cannot, however, be removed by any editor until the deletion discussion is completed and closed, so you should be able to get a full hearing in that forum. Finally, I note that in a couple of places you have made statements about who certain editors are in real life. Unless they have previously voluntarily revealed that information here at Wikipedia, for you to reveal it is a serious violation of Wikipedia policy called outing which can result in you being blocked from editing. Unless they have revealed that information themselves, you should go back and delete those statements and then ask for the edits to be oversighted. — TransporterMan (TALK) 15:31, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 00:06, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

As a clarification/addendum to the bots notice, the tildes should be placed after the comment in the edit window and not into the edit summary box at the bottom.--Kevmin § 02:02, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

Your former username

Hello Maxnxs, I'd like to suggest that from this point on, if anyone wants to address you by your former username, or otherwise mention it, you can ask them to retract what they said. Our outing policy "also applies in the case of an editor who has requested a change in username, but whose old identifying marks can still be found." If they insist on bringing it up, you can legitimately claim that it is harassment. I also suggest that you delete the first couple of threads on this user talk page, the welcome and the COI notice, because they mention your old username. -- Atama頭 18:51, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
