Welcome!

Hello, Tecasm, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Loretta H. Cheeks

Hi @Tecasm, My name is Brianda, and I am the Wikipedia Expert for your class. I checked out your contributions and saw that you haven't quite started the project yet (at least on Wikipedia). The first step is to gather reliable sources on your topic to build out your bibliography. If you need any help getting started, please feel free to reach out to me, just remember to ping me. Looping in @9Starbucks. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:36, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Brianda, I'm catching up on the assignments and will notify you if I need assistance. Very much appreciated. Tecasm (talk) 16:58, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi Brianda - I'm looking to meet with Dr. Cheeks and wondered if that discussion/interview could be used as a source for my Wiki page? Tecasm (talk) 03:38, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Brianda, are you still assisting with the wiki pages? Tecasm (talk) 15:49, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Dr Loretta Cheeks.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Dr Loretta Cheeks.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:30, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I did not have the opportunity to update this image before my page was removed. Tecasm (talk) 16:02, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Loretta H. Cheeks

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Draft:Loretta H. Cheeks, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 14:20, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

This a graduate course assignment please do not delete and give me an opportunity to update. Brianda was assisting our class with this assignment. Tecasm (talk) 15:51, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Looks like my class assignment was deleted before I could even contest it or make modifications. Tecasm (talk) 15:52, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Tecasm! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, Tecasm. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Deb (talk) 15:07, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
