Hello, Annaashton, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for 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 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 reverted for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask 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 accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have 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 request a change of username.
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! You can also 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'm happy for the page to be edited/reviewed by Wikipedia - the wording is the same as on the CeRch website because I wrote both - I was updating what became of the Arts and Humanities Data Service. Also trying to change my username but managed to put in a request now - I'm new to all this!
Ok ... so what should I do? Wikipedia has a Digital Humanities Centers category page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Digital_Humanities_Centers - and at the moment we are the only one in the UK that is not listed, although others at King's College London are, as well as some of our projects.

Thanks this is helpful - I'll try and rewrite it in a more neutral way. I do understand why this needs to be done, and am impressed by the diligence of the Wiki editors! Icantfindit ( talk) 10:21, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
