'''Welcome!'''

Hello, AnnetteColeman, and '''[[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome to Wikipedia]]'''! Thank you for [[Special:Contributions/AnnetteColeman|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 [[WP:COI|conflict of interest]]. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a [[WP:NPOV|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 [[Help:Userspace draft|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 [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|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 [[WP:NOSHARE|be blocked from editing]]. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have [[Wikipedia:Username policy|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 [[Wikipedia:Changing username|request a change of username]].

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the '''[[Wikipedia:New contributors' help page|New contributors' help page]]''' or the '''[[Wikipedia:Teahouse|Teahouse]]''', where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type '''<code>{{tl|helpme}}</code>''' on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

==MfD nomination of [[User:AnnetteColeman]]==
[[User:AnnetteColeman]], a page you substantially contributed to, has been nominated for [[WP:MfD|deletion]]. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:AnnetteColeman ]] and please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).  You are free to edit the content of [[User:AnnetteColeman]] during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion.  Thank you.<!-- Template:MFDWarning --> [[User:January|<span style="color:navy;">January</span>]] <small>([[User talk:January|<span style="color:navy;">talk</span>]])</small> 12:31, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

This must be a very gray area between promotional and informational. Please take a peek at other artists pages such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoko_Ono. What do I need to add so that my page falls into informational? And who is MfD? My exhusband?˜˜˜˜

:[[Yoko Ono]] is an article, this is a user page - please see [[WP:User pages]] for Wikipedia's guidelines on the use of user pages, which are intended to be relevant to contributors' activities on Wikipedia. If you intended this page to be an article, I should point out that while Wikipedia does have articles on notable artists ([[WP:ARTIST]] explains what would be considered notable), creating an article about oneself is strongly discouraged. Please see [[WP:Autobiography]] for more information about this.

==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:User:AnnetteColeman]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]
{{Quote box|quote=<p>If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read [[WP:Your first article|the guide to writing your first article]].</p><p>You may want to consider using the [[Wikipedia:Article wizard|Article Wizard]] to help you create articles.</p>|width=20%|align=right}}
A tag has been placed on [[:User:AnnetteColeman]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G11|section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read [[Wikipedia:Spam|the guidelines on spam]] and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Business]] for more information. 

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 '''[[User talk:AnnetteColeman|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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication of deleted content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-spam-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Peridon|Peridon]] ([[User talk:Peridon|talk]]) 11:08, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

I have had extensive articles written about me and my work. If you give me time to chase them down I can note them within the page. [[User:AnnetteColeman|AnnetteColeman]] ([[User talk:AnnetteColeman#top|talk]]) 15:50, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
