Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Gamers: The Movie.

Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gamers: The Movie, without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 20:19, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
[Image:Information.svg|25px]] My apologies. I only recently discovered this page. I will try to remember to do that. I am fairly new at this. Thanks for the constructive criticism.--Encyclopedia Mike (talk) 06:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Persistent promotion of Gamers: The Movie
Your entire edit history at Wikipedia suggests you may have a conflict of interest regarding Gamers: The Movie and its director, Chris Folino. Both articles are your creations and every one of your edits appears to promote the film or Folino. Concerns about a possible conflict of interest have been raised at WP:COIN. —Whoville (talk) 20:19, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Whoville, this is my first article. I have nothing to gain in writing about these subjects. It's merely the first article I've ever done here and it has been a learning process. I wanted to start out with a smaller subject and learn it before I tackled larger subjects. I am learning a lot about referencing and proper notation. And thanks to feedback from people like you I am learning you SHOULDN'T cross reference everything. But I would feel bad if my lack of Wiki knowledge got a notable subject deleted from this reference source. --Encyclopedia Mike (talk) 06:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Folino
An editor has nominated Folino, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Folino and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:59, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for the feedback regarding the signatures. it was very constructive and helpful. I hope you and others will realize that my mistakes were out of ignorance and not spamming. And I hope you will support keeping these articles online. I think the subjects are valid and I appreciate any help in improving these articles. Now I will sign off properly!!! --Encyclopedia Mike (talk) 06:53, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Your recent edits
Hi there. 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. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name 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) 18:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you SineBot. I am a novice on Wikipedia. This is my first article. None of my edits were intended to "promote" the film. I doubt that an encyclopedia is the place to do that anyway. I did think this was a good movie and an up-and-coming director that did not have a previous insertion. I assumed you linked everything that was in an article. If that is wrong, I am willing to make that correction. But the film and author has won more critical acclaim than many other movies on this site and I believe it is justified in being here. I have no financial interest in this movie. I hope that my mistakes do not jeopardize what is otherwise a justified and critically acclaimed--Encyclopedia Mike (talk) 06:26, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Resolving Folino & Gamers?
The process is explained at WP:COIN; Wikipedia's definition of conflict of interest is at WP:COI. It's up to another editor to determine whether there's a conflict and mark the issue as resolved. So far, the comments of two other editors suggest they're unconvinced a conflict exists although one remarked that your edits "look like examples of spamming." Meanwhile, Gamers: The Movie and Chris Folino have not been nominated for deletion. —Whoville (talk) 03:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
