A tag has been placed on Alabama Archaeological Society, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:15, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Mjtcole. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Quad Site (archaeological site), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
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 take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Melcous ( talk) 23:08, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Quad Site (archaeological site), you may be blocked from editing. Jim1138 ( talk) 23:13, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
@ Melcous:Thanks for your comments. I have performed research and published on this subject before. However, I am not associated with it in any way and am not being paid. Should I remove references to my work?
@ Jim1138:I apologize for the disruptive editing. I am learning. Regarding COI, would you mind sharing a little more specific concerns? Should I remove references to my work?
@ Melcous:Thanks for your comments. I have performed research and published on this subject before. However, I am not associated with it in any way, was not paid for my research or publication (scientific journal) and am not being paid. Should I remove references to my work? Would you please provide a suggested approach?````
( edit conflict) I didn't add the COI notice, Melcous did. You should not remove wp:Template messages/Cleanup tags/ wp:templates unless the issue has been resolved. I would think that someone who might have a COI shouldn't remove a COI tag. As how to disclose, one generally adds such a notice to your user page and to the talk page of the article(s) you would be editing that you have a COI with. Here is how to WP:DISCLOSE.
I don't know if you would be a COI unless you are attempting to promote your own writing. But given that someone thinks you are a COI, you might want to disclose. See wp:user pages as to what is allowed and disallowed. There is a fair amount of gray area in between. You can add stuff about your background, links to and/or names of articles and papers. You might also be able to add wp:images if someone doesn't find them objectionable for various reasons. You must own the copyright or be able to obtain a release per CC BY-SA 3.0 license.
Please remember, that the article should be written for the layperson. Any uncommon words should be linked to or defined.
See wp:linking and wp:external links for how-to.
If you have questions about editing, I would recommend asking at the wp:teahouse Hope this helps! Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 23:51, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
@ Jim1138:This does help. Thank you very much. Will not delete until things are settled. Can I get semi-protection it the meantime? I don't think I have a COI, but have asked for the administrator to clarify why they thought so. Thanks for the links to Clovis and United States Fish and Wildlife Service - I am surprised you knew Clovis and fluted points coalesced!
See
wp:talk page guidelines,
Help:Using talk pages, and
wp:user pages.
To notify or
wp:ping someone, just adding an "@" before their username does not notify them. The main trick is to add a link {{ut|Jim1138}}, [[user:Jim1138]] or ping {{yo|Jim1138} or {{ping|Jim1138}}, an optional message and sign your name with four tildes "~~~~" such as:
{{yo|Jim1138}} Stay off my talk page! ~~~~
You need to save the ping and four tildes at the same time with one "Save change" or it probably won't work. I hope I won't see that example message! Cheers

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article David L. DeJarnette is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David L. DeJarnette until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. – 🐱? ( talk) (ping me!) 17:04, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Hi again ColtsPop, I just had a quick look at the article you created - David L. DeJarnette, well done. I added some sections to the article which makes it easier to read (see WP:SECT) but have a couple of questions for you. The second and third paragraphs that are currently under "early life and education" obviously don't fit there, but it is not immediately clear to me how these fit into a biography of DeJarnette - are you able to edit to make this clearer? Also, I added a " citation needed" tag to the statement that DeJarnette's work "became legendary" - this is a point of view statement and as such it would need to be referenced to someone who said it, otherwise it should probably be removed. I hope that is helpful - I'm glad your early experience of having a few articles not accepted and getting some notices about COI editing hasn't put you off from contributing to the project and hope you will continue to add articles that are missing in your field of interest/expertise. Cheers, Melcous ( talk) 10:30, 17 February 2017 (UTC) @ Melcous:Thanks for your comments on David L. DeJarnette. DeJarnette became legendary for being a raging asshole...but I didn't want to say that in the article. I have a reference I can add that if the reader checks, will give them enough information to bring them to that conclusion ;-). Also, thank for your comments on the other articles. I learned very quickly that it is best to have everything ready to go and copy it into a template rather than try to recreate the wheel. Otherwise, the article gets nominated for deletion before I can complete it. Live and learn! I love writing, so I'll just keep plugging along, one or two per week as I have time.````
