Please fill out the edit summary when making changes so that other editors will understand why the changes are being made. We have to be able to distinguish between simple vandalism and the real thing. Particularly when one year changes are made to a fact as with the Twilight article. Slight changing of a year or other figure is a "cute" trick of vandals. Thanks. Student7 ( talk) 22:39, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello, OCHS.OSH, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you created 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 deleted for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. 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 if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the
New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can 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.

Hey Jarry,
yes, I do work for the museum, as you can tell from my username :-) We wanted to create a page since it is not in existence.
I'm not very knowledgeable with how this works with all the different steps. If regulations require someone to proof it, absolutely! How would I get someone to do that job for me?
