Revision as of 18:36, 11 August 2014

Welcome!

Hello, WillArlenNess, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Arlen Ness, which 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 Misplaced Pages, 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.

One 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. Misplaced Pages generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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

Speedy deletion nomination of Cory ness

Hello WillArlenNess,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Cory ness for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Blackguard 19:44, 8 August 2014 (UTC)

In regards to the article on Cory, yes he is an influential figure in the motorcycle industry along with his father Arlen, but as per Misplaced Pages guidelines it would be best if you put citations and references to back up his notability. Also, are you a relative of Arlen or just someone editing on his behalf? Blake Gripling (talk) 23:51, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
